Words inspired by a Navy Soldier who we kept in touch with through e-mail
I took the stand.
I felt alive.
I had my fears,
but fought with pride.
I stood my ground
and fought the fight,
While children at home
slept safe at night.
There were times I laughed
and times I cried,
but thoughts of backing down
never crossed my mind.
"Would I do it again?" you ask.
Yes.On any given day,
all for your freedom
I am a soldier of
THE USA
