Shrouded In Secrecy - the Team

Copyright © 2011 #307 9/Apr/2011 (0110hrs) Dedicated to all Special Operations' Operatives Worldwide Teams of Operators prepared for the call honed and strong willed standing tall. Shadows moving fearlessly in distant nights these spirits never falter from death’s sight. Back home, they’re not in headlines etched in time behind foreign lines. Year long deployments, and some dead shrouded in secrecy the headlines read. Seemed forever, did their loved ones wait not sure of their Warrior’s return or fate. Suddenly, from a sleepless night shuddering from dream’s fright. Hearing that doorbell ring unsure of what it’ll bring. One Warrior is finally home downrange another gone. Their Badge of Courage within, carried with them until the end. by: LP April 9, 2011
