Poem Excerpt From: Lightning Strikes, Love Ignites Copyright 2007

Embarking on an uncertain, but aware journey, no matter the rank, these men and woman stand at attention for the love of their country, even when at ease. The weight of the entire future of their country upon their shoulders is lessened by their disciplined resolve for dedication, loyalty, justice and the continuance of freedom.

Eyes piercing through the darkness and steel running through their veins, they execute justice against the enemy and the hand of deliverance and friendship to the oppressed and forgotten.

The valor exemplified with humbleness toward their fellow mankind is a badge of honor, that God Himself has placed within their hearts. For they instinctively know, that victory is within their grasp.

For they have the calling of kings prepared for battle and the courage to face their eternal destiny for the sake of their country, as well as the graceful hope of returning safely to their respective homes.
