We'll always remember
That special smile
That caring heart
That warm embrace
You always gave us.
You being there.
For mom and us.
Through good times and bad times
No matter what.
We'll always remember
You, Dad, because
There'll never be anyone
To replace you in our hearts.
And the love we will always have for you.

I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness… should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror: felt the stinging of cold fear: and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, pained and hoped… but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was… a soldier.
