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 OF THOSE WHO GAVE NOTHING, AND RELUCTANTLY ACCEPTED THE THOUGHT OF ETERNAL LONLINESS......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, PATNED, AND HOPED, BUT MOSTLY I HAVE LIVED A LIFE THAT MOST WOULD SAY IS BEST FORGOTTEN. AND TODAY I AM GLAD TO SAY WHO I AM AN AMERICAN AND A COMBAT VETERAN!
