Thinking of You Comrades

Celebration

A day of reckoning, of war.

One as momentous as the other.

Senseless loss of life and

yes.  I volunteered to give

my life for my country and

honor our Code of Conduct.

Give up life to stay free.

Someones are given the

Spirit of Liberty to remain

Free in America.

Louisa A Dobbins

Excellent write, Louisa. I, too, volunteered both during Vietnam in 1970 and stayed in the service until 1981. I volunteered again for Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and served at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I was forced to resign after just a year in 2004 due to a medical condition and it still hurts that I cannot serve today. God bless you for your service, Louisa. Freedom isn't free.
