| On A Soldiers Funeral! | |||
| Written by unknown soldier | |||
| On A Soldier's Funeral By GALSWORTHY, JOHN NO pipes have skirled; But heaven's wildest music blares; Above the compound lightning flares, The rain is whirled. No drums shall roll -- Only a private soldier gone! The cold light paints no funeral stone -- No bell need toll! He lived his tame And little day of silent tasks And silent duty -- no one asks To know his name. The milestones fade Along the road that he has come. No cheer of music takes him home -- His wage is paid. The wind shrills high; The darkened day is chasing grief With lash of blinding rain -- and brief The footfalls die. | |||

| A Soldier There is discipline in A Soldier you can see it when he walks, There is honor in A Soldier you hear it when he talks. There is courage in A Soldier you can see it in his eyes, There is loyalty in A Soldier that he will not compromise. There is something in A Soldier that makes him stand apart, There is strength in A Soldier that beats from his heart. A Soldier isn't a title any man can be hired to do, A Soldier is the soul of that man buried deep inside of you. A Soldier's job isn't finished after an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week, A Soldier is always A Soldier even while he sleeps. A Soldier serves his country first and his life is left behind, A Soldier has to sacrifice what comes first in a civilian's mind. If you are civilian - I am saying this to you..... next time you see A Soldier remember what they do. A Soldier is the reason our land is 'Home of the free', A Soldier is the one that is brave protecting you and me. If you are A Soldier - I am saying this to you..... Thank God for EVERY SOLDIER Thank God for what YOU do! Angela Goodwin | |||

| For all the soldiers : You stay up for 16 hours He stays up for days on end. ***** You take a warm shower to help you wake up. He goes days or weeks without running water. ***** You complain of a 'headache', and call in sick. He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward. ***** You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends. He still fights for your right to wear that shirt. ***** You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket. He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags. ***** You talk trash about your 'buddies' that aren't with you. He knows he may not see some of his buddies again. ***** You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls. He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists. ***** You complain about how hot it is. He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow. ***** You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong. He doesn't get to eat today. ***** Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes. He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean. ***** You go to the mall and get your hair redone. He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today. ***** You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over. He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months. ***** You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight. He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home. ***** You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday. He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume. ***** You roll your eyes as a baby cries. He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet. ***** You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything. He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting. ***** You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him. He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded. ***** You see only what the media wants you to see. He sees the broken bodies lying around him. ***** You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't. He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger. ***** You stay at home and watch TV. He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat. ***** You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable. He tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and helicopters all night long. | |||
