I am a small and precious child,my dad's been sent to fight.The only place I'll see his face,is in my dreams at night.

He will be gone too many daysfor my young mind to keep track.http://kstreetjournal.wordpress.com/tag/bombay/I may be sad, but I am proud.y daddy's got your back.

I am a caring mother.y son has gone to war.y mind is filled with worriesthat I ha!e ne!er known before."!eryday I try to keepmy thoughts from turning black.I may be scared, but I am proud.y son has got your back.

I am a strong and lo!ing wife,with a husband soon to go.There are times I'm terrifiedin a way most ne!er know.I bite my lip, and force a smileas I watch my husband pack.y heart may break,but I am proud.y husband has got your back.

I am a soldier, ser!ingproudly, standing tall.

I fight for freedom, yours and mineby answering this call.I do my job while knowing,the thanks it sometimes lacks.#ay a prayer that I'll come homeand remember who's got your back.

"$%$on't en!y a man his medals

They're not there at his reuest

They were earned in stinking hell holes(here no man would like to go)r in cold and wintry places(here there's only ice and snow

He did not know he earned themTill they were awarded at parade

%nd they were bright when he first got them*ut in time the colors fade

He was told he had to wear them%nd to wear them all with pride*ut when the memories come to haunt himThose same medals make him hide

+ause those medals will not bring back%ll those guys he left behind%nd he would trade them all fore!eror a little peace of mind

How does a soldier feel fighting a war6$oes he always know what he is fighting for6

aybe he knows but doesn't understand,why he is alone in a faraway land.&ike so many others he is there for a cause,

%nd like the rest he doesn't pause.He has a job that he does well,e!en as his best friend beside him fell.How does he feel when he hears the news,of !iolent protests from the ignorant few6His shame is great, the pain goes deephe feels compassion for the dead at his feet.7ioters can boast and carry signs,about the war that has shook our time.*ut when the call comes for them to go,

they burn their draft cards and make a show.How can a soldier be proud of his land,when this type of people make a stand6How can we show him we are glad he is there,fighting for freedom and the ones who care6(ar is unfair in any way of life,and all in!ol!ed must pay the price.*ut the soldier is proud to keep us free,stop and think..........#houldn't you be6

#oldiers "yes

To look into a soldier's eyes, the window to their soul.&ook out from inside their mind and see horrors ne!er told.-ou say we are just killers, it's not that plain you see.Take a walk inside my boots and see what I ha!e seen.

any innocent li!es taken and soldiers, they were some.5i!ing their life freely to get the mission done.The last cold stare of death, we see in our buddies eyes.They fought for all your freedom, this is why we die.#ome wonder why we fight to protect this nation and maybe lose our life.

%sk this uestion to a soldier, the answers in their eyes.

%lways will we be here waiting, the call we won't deny.(e'll always fight for freedom, ne!er asking why.(e'll go away to far off lands , lea!ing our lo!ed ones behind.any times we die alone, se!eral times inside.)pen windows to our soul, see the tears we hide.#ecrets that we cannot keep are in a soldier's eyes

It Has %lways *een The #oldier.It is the soldier,not the 8resident who gi!es us democracy.It is the soldier,not the +ongress who takes care of us.It is the soldier,not the 7eporter who has gi!en us reedom of 8ress.It is the soldier,not the 8oet who has gi!en us reedom of #peech.It is the soldier,not the campus )rgani9er who has gi!en us the

reedom to $emonstrate.It is the soldier,who salutes the flagwho ser!es beneath the flag,and whose coffin is draped by the flag,that allows the protester to burn the flag.

The life of a soldier is !iewed through his walkhis body is erecteach step is perfectly orderedone foot placed directly in front of the otherHe fore!er looks forwardfrom his hair down to his shoeshe is poignantly sculpturedhe is the embodiment of the professional soldierHe must be serenemust always look aheadfor each day presents new challengesand the life of a soldier must continue to go on.

In -our Honor

3nselfishly, you left your fathers and your mothers, -ou left behind your sisters and your brothers.&ea!ing your belo!ed children and wi!es, -ou put on hold, your dreams;your li!es.)n foreign soil, you found yourself planted To fight for those whose freedom you granted.(ithout your sacrifice, their cause would be lost *ut you carried onward, no matter the cost.

any horrors you had endured and seen. any faces had haunted your dreams.-ou cheered as your enemies littered the ground -ou cried as your brothers fell all around.

How do you measure a soldier's sacrifice6Is it by the number of friends and family left behind6Is it by the months or years gi!en in ser!ice6

How do you measure a soldier's courage6Is it by the number of objecti!es completed,)r by the number of bullets dodged or missions ser!ed6

How do you measure a soldier's honor6Is it by the duty he or she !olunteers for,)r by the number of medals earned6

The simple truth is that these things are immeasurable,%s is this country's debt to all who ser!e,%nd pay the price for freedom in this land.
