originalthis was for Veterans Day but didn't have time too write it.
' Run,you idiots they're firing again,duck and cover cover and duck,return fire protect this area of land no matter the costs,' ordered one
Wen Johnson, Colonel of troop 123 that was assigned to the area known only as Deadman's Last Stand.Soldiers would come here some might survive and leave too returned too their families,but in a rare instance those that were sent over here to protect this land and America a few would not make it a few would die that was when he knew the Service made a few wrong choses.Like today then young Private Dawson Palmer with his squad were guarding sector K-B134 and suddenly they were ambushed and gunfire was heard some of the squad ran to cover and the Colonel,' We lost Palmer sir,'reported Captain Wells as he felt a tear on his face,'We were guarding the area as ordered in fact suddenly we heard a sound thought it was a small animal moving around suddenly the enemy appeared ,you were right they are quick,tried fighting back I took several down in hand to hand but we were outnumbered I was jumped from behind Palmer saw this tried to pull the enemy off me but got stabbed in the chest he fell,after the enemy retreated we tried getting his body but wild animals came out either side stayed out in the open for to long,thats my report sir,if you want to fire me for Palmers death that's your decision he was a friend I feel bad as it is.'
The Colonel grabbed Wells and hugged him,' No Mr Wells we've had to many sacrifices and loss let
the dead rest we will have a funeral,you tried
David,God and the President can't blame us for trying you know, we never try why we give damn
we're honor the dead but not today we've been given a break both sides called for a Moment of Prayer and Recovery,go to your barracks son,you earn it.' Captain Wells felt sick, he earned it all right lost the best friend he ever had,and his brother.' Thankyou bro for saving my life.'
end.some soldiers never return home they sacrifie their lives so we might continue to live ours to enjoy our families friends ,home and country.God Bless Us All.
