For the troops...


Poem Artwork

What is it about a soldier's uniform?
Down through the ages
Whether armored or woolen,
Khaki, navy, or white,
The mystique it bears Infuses the bearer.
No tyrant or despot
With his decorative ribbons and medals
Can compare
To the simple soldier, or sailor,
In his fatigues or dress blues.
The uniform, properly worn,
Speaks eloquently,
Elegantly,
Of dignity, sacrifice, and true strength.
What is it about a soldier's uniform?
It's about heart.
