going to war a feat in itself
i did not go for just myself
my fellow marines and service men alike
gone to do battle with a enemy as dark as the night
we leave behind the ones we love
the life we had taken on the wings of a dove
in its place something dark something fierce
wishing nothing more then are hearts to be pierced
were told to do our duty day in and day out
so we pick up our rifles and we go stumbling about
not knowing what the morning sun may have in store
but we are trained to smile and ask for more
we defend our country,freedom and pride
we do so with honor and dignity in our stride
i have seen the loss and felt its pain
brothers of a cause lost till a better day
my life nearly taken from me
shot three times now i know the cost to be free
how many lifes i took i may never know
but rest assure karma will come back to show
i served this country and its people alike
and all iask in return is u live for my brothers who died

this is for all my brothers i lost in iraq. Semper-fi your finnaly

I have no words to describe the intense gratification and compassion for
those fighting for our/my freedom. So many wives left alone raising
children while our men, brothers, fathers and sisters are in combat
facing indescribable horrors that we will never know or even imagine.
Our military are in my prayers constantly...THANK YOU!
Wonderful words countryboy! Thank you for sharing with us here...
