Notes About The Poem

"Certificate of Appreciation"

I wasn't even thinking about this at the time. But I appreciate our troops so much; I had to include this with "American Soldier." I've revised my poem a bit, I have wanted to do this for a while, and I like this version and will remain it for eternity.

God Bless you, "American Soldier."

American Soldier

American Soldier

God Bless you all, American Soldiers. 
For your dedication: to Our Country.
 
For putting your own life first; 
You are even sacrificing; 
Losing your life to save many.
 
Fighting for our Liberties and Freedom. 
To keep my life; for saving our lives;
For protecting Our Country.

I Salute you; for your daring Courage. 
I Salute you; your mighty Strengths. 
I Salute you, your heart of Honor. 
I Salute you; for your acts of Bravery. 
I Salute you; your mighty Heroism. 
I Salute you; your victorious Valor. 

I thank, salute you; 
In your dedication to; Our Country.
 
But still, put your own life first;
You did, even sacrificing; 
You are losing your lives to save so many.
 
Fighting for our Liberties to be in Freedom: 
To  keep  my life; for saving other live's; 
For protecting Our Country. 

I'm Honored to you for your daring Courage. 
I'm Honored to you, your mighty Strengths. 
I'm Honored to you, your heart of Honor. 
I've Honor to you for your acts of Bravery. 
I'm Honored to you, your mighty Heroism. 
I'm Honored to you, your victorious Valor. 

I thank and am honored to you: 
For keeping your oath;
In your dedication being; Foreign or Domestic.

Because you put your own life first: 
You soldier's even sacrificed; 
Losing your lives for so many to keep living.
 
You were fighting for these Liberties; 
To live in Freedom; 
To keep my life alive; 
In saving many others lives; to supporting you;
In protecting with Valor and Honor; Our Country!

Hi Susan, I'm so sorry to hear this. Life sure isn't easy, and some of the hurls we need to overcome. No, sure isn't easy. Susan, my heart goes out to you, and I do hope you are at peace with it now? But, thank you so ever much. Those brave soldiers do it for their dedications to our country. Someone needs to acknowledge them. Take care... Best of Wishes, William
