It is very sad that this world still finds the need for soldiers; no one should have to put his/her life in jeopardy for reasons of war if we had evolved at all from ancient times. Thank you, Karla. Love and peace,

So is the life of the soldier. Most of the soldiers I have known have admitted that they don't wish to die for what they believe but that they have little problem putting themselves in the position that it could happen. They are noble and far stronger than I could ever hope to be. I am humbled by their sacrifices and awed by their commitment. Powerful Poem!
Take care,
Sherry

Great sentiments about the troops. When I was on base here the lads use their humour a lot, just to get by. Time to bring the boys home..
