Flattered By Your Commitment

The United States Military

Doing what a soldier does,
Leaving family and friends.
Being stationed in far away lands.
Living in barracks and tents,
Eating military rations,
Wearing one's issued uniform,
Surrendering one's identity and will.
Practicing war games.
Now the war games have become real.
Your dedication have turned many heads.
Your strength is being noticed.
Our respect for you have heightened.
The bloodshed of your comrades
Has allowed us to look twice.
Being grateful for their ultimate sacrifice.
Your unselfish love has dragged you there.
Through an unwavering commitment,
Never will we forget our dear friends.
Penning it on paper, binding it in books,
And telling our children....

Thomas Reginald Bridges
