At Liberty

You are the brave. That is something to be proud of. You enlisted with ideology of what has to come. Your days are not by day. You prepare for tomorrow. No matter what branch you chose you climb to limb. To set high above the enemy with the ally To defeat why you deployed To conquer peace and to cease war You will be heroes. You will be the Wall. You be the strength that conquers all. Your mastery of defense and skills, as militant, has withstood the cause. I welcome you home with open arms and rejoice when you reenter the workforce. _________________________________________________________________ ___| PENNED ON AUGUST 30, 2014 @ 12:30 A.M. EST!

Going to war for peace is like having sex for celibacy. I feel bad for these young people. Many are broken beyond what the eye can see. Returning home is not always an easy task. Our nations have a responsibility to help them be succesfuly returned to society.

Thanks Rick for your commentary remarks. It seems that many times a nation cannot do enough for soldiers that have return home from conflict or war. Verlena
