our country continuing
a long drawn out war
in the lands so far away
Called up again,
his unit going
deployed once again
to the heat of the desert
Going, faithful,
servants of their country
following their orders
the call to go and stand
On point in the wilderness
hoping to serve us with courage
standing in the breach
between chaos and life
Doing their duty
faithful, with honor
praying that all of them
will come back safe from harm
February 3, 2010
