Looking Back On Iraq

Looking back on it all before we left our home worried about the futures mess listening to our duties call. Fearful of the things to come knowing that we might die going into a battle zone hearing our children's cries. Thinking of the sacrifice each one of will make to give our lives in their defense this code we will not break. Now were here and almost done the time has gone by fast some have fallen along the way their memories will always last. My greatest fear of all these things is that's its all in vein but one thing that i know for sure none of us will be the same. Nothing could have prepares us more for the things that we've experienced here some things good and some things bad some of us have faced our fears. But as we leave we all look back and remember the things we've lost our fallen friends and brothers who all have paid the cost. We will take with us a piece of them and live the American way we will live our freedom to the max because that is the price they've paid.
