Airforce Days

My Airforce Days 

The days were long, the nights were cold,
I was an airman in the medical fold.
I served my country with pride and grace,
With every step, a soldier's pace.

The roar of jets, the smell of fuel,
A rush of adrenaline, my heart was full.
I tended to the wounded and the ill,
With care and compassion, my heart was still.

The companionship and the brotherhood,
Will never be forgotten, as long as I stood.
I have left the department and moved on,
But the memories will forever live on.

With every step I take in this age, 
A child yesterday and now turns a sage, 
The lessons learned, the bonds made,
Will forever be etched in my heart, never to fade.

Being a long-time EMT in a city, I can appreciate the camaraderie you speak of. It's a field that deserves much more than it receives. Bless you.
