A soldier guards Americans and their freedoms around the
clock.
While many are ungrateful and only worried about the rise in
Wall Street’s stock.
A soldier must push aside personal feelings as he performs
his duty.
While many are obsessed with outward appearances above
inner beauty.
A soldier must accept being deployed at a moment’s notice
to war zones.
While many are greedily thinking first about their picks in the
Dow Jones.
A soldier must obey orders no matter how tough and
intense.
While many heckle, ridicule, and question his line of defense.
A soldier takes his role seriously, and pushes personal feelings
aside.
While many are secretly busy trying to undermine the military
and. . .
cause a great divide.
On the battlefield soldiers must endure all kinds of hatred, and
adverse weather conditions. . .
While many curse them and march in protest against their
assigned commissions.
A soldier must be strong and not give aid to the enemy.
While many spit on the flag and abuse their right to be
free.
A soldier deserves to be honored and held to the highest
esteem.
While many others will never know true valor only the
captivity of the extreme.
A soldier is someone who cares about his country, and
protecting. . .
The American dream.
