"I was that, which others cared not to be. I went where others
feared to go and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those that gave nothing. and, reluctantly,
accepted the thought of eternal loneliness...should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the chill of fear, warmed
to the touch of love.
I have hoped, pained, cried.
But, foremost, lived in times others would say, best forgotten.
At the very least, in later days, I will be able to say with greatest pride, that I was indeed a SOLDIER".
