Poetry entry for 10/2011 Veteran's Group contest.
Soldier Is Their Name


From bustling burg and sleepy town
both far and near they came
to do what's right, without renown,
and bear the 'soldier' name.

Their training done, they looked ahead
to what they'd have to do.
And what can of this group be said?
They're soldiers, just like you.

From Nation's start to desert's heart
they've fought without acclaim
resolved to live a life apart,
for 'Soldier' is their name.
