Proud Veteran

I step in the place of boots, that marched there, along before me. Who then set the standard of excellence, while fighting for those, who weren't free. From their ordeals, grew a sacrifice, a constant struggle, and a constant pain. Having to succumb to the dangers involve, realizing there was much more for them, to then gain. A height of which they couldn't before climb, and a profile of being amongst the few. An experience no one can truly take back, and a wisdom of what one, is to then do. A sense of pride, for fighting for a people. For a freedom they crucially need to receive. A people rule by a one sided government, who were made to suffer and not fully achieve. The baton has now since been passed, I to go, and do the very same. Always proud to be a celebrated part, of those, of whom, once have became.
