VaBeachGuy 12 Posted November 11, 2004 "SOLDIER" by George L. Skypeck 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 cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [GEORGE L.

Jeanway 0 Posted November 11, 2004 I watched a :unsure: documetary last night on Public T.V., We have no concept of what these men went through. After how many years, some of these men still can't talk about the things that happened to them and their fallen comrads without breaking down in tears. My heart was just sick with grief and compassion while I listened and watched some of the old black and white films. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
