Desert sand billowing incessantly coating sweaty skin in gritty irritation. Heated air tinged with smoke from spent rounds and rocket's tail. Months spent endlessly training focusing on this day this horrible day. Duty done, honor is satisfied country is served freedom now reigns. Desert sand billowing incessantly covering cooling skin of our hallowed dead. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |

A very honourable poem for the soldiers of the coalition in their fight for freedom. Well done. Jesus lives in my heart! |

sad to know that someone has been through this and seen enough to write so vividly about it |

(big hugggssssssss) This is so very heartwrenchingly and compassionately sad, sweet friend, I believe no job in existence is worse than having to carry the bodies of brothers and have to announce to their families that they died in battle! (wipes tears) I send many hugs your way, dearest friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet JP, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
