I have many idols but none are more important to me then my ancestors. I draw my strength and courage from my father and grandfathers. I get my wisdom from my mother and my grandmothers. I also idolize anyone and everyone that will take a stand to correct a wrong. I look to all the men and women, fathers and mothers, husbands and wives and lovers that have walked in harms way, wearing the uniform of their country with pride and dignity. My heart goes out to those that have felt the pain of lsoing one close to them. I idolize all those that have given me what I enjoy this very day.

PLease Pause to reflect:
A Hero Is Lost
I served my country knowing
That in harms way I may go
Praying that I would safely return
Until the end I would never know
I serve my country with pride
Sounds of battle are all around
Death lingers heavy in the air
Danger fills every echoing sound
I feel this pain now fill me
A burning pain like never before
Into my body it has now ripped
What has happened I am not sure
I fall to the ground so hard
In its dust I do now silently lay
The pain has totally consumed me
Brave to life I will forever stay
A medic works feverishly over me
The look on his face I now see
The sorrow that is written there
Is for the life before him, yes me
I feel my strength now slipping
In my visions I see a white light
Of this through life I have been told
Coming when life ends it’s fight
My blood is gone from me now
I served my country’s honor each day
I have now given in ultimate sacrifice
With this heroes life I now pay
One last breath I painfully gasp for
To refill my soul, none is there
Loved ones will be filled with sorrow
Pain in my passing they all will share
My visions are of cold harsh black
My honor and bravery it has cost
Taking of each of wars fallen souls
Reminds us another hero is lost
