For those dog tags that you wear around your neck,... I for one respect you tremendously - for being willing to protect!! The line about "a true soldier defeated, keeps the fight"... that's PATRIOTISM at it's finest!! It's the stuff that 'freedom' is made of! Without that kind of courage, there would be no gift of freedom to enjoy! Thanks for being one to understand that, and for being one willing to 'Keep the fight" May the blessings of a merciful God lay heavily and abundantly upon you in times of danger!

I second swade this is a excellant read from start to finish your fourth verse says it all
thanks swade, good to hear feedback like that. i maybe irish born but i have been around the world 16 times, fighting for freedom with different armies. it strange how when you have been in war you see the world so clear, i think every politician should go and serve in 1 battle or encounter, wake them up. money, land, power. these were the old things we defeneded. not anymore, now people will fight and belive in freedom and their right to feel SAFE.
