Striving for happiness is a long, hard journey with many challenges. It requires eternal vigilance to win the victory. You cannot succeed with sporadic little flashes of effort. Constant and valiant living is necessary. By Jack H. Goaslind We owe so much to the brave men and women Your sacrifice for America will never be forgotten You deserve our focus and will never be blasted America recognizes virtues you've never tasted. Smugglers die many times before their deaths Heroes rarely die twice without gentle breaths, Nothing is difficult for a courageous heart Few who fight dust and blood do their depart. Who will recognize the triumph of a great victory? And worst of all, who will fail in defying history? Earn a vow to be brave and desire to be bright, Decide to be dynamic and attempt to be right. Be brave and courageous when pressure is high, The greatest act of obduracy, a talent could display Motivate another person to exert their imagination Bear hold of your life and strive for any situation. Various names have been given to the future It can't be done by those who pursue a suitor, It is unknown to those who are afraid of heights And yet, it's ideal for the brave, of valiant sights. What we retain is most crucial than what we read It's not intentions but actions that lend us deeds, We don't achieve our goals by wishing for them But it is a lifelong fight to render us a valiant gem. If you're valiant, you will have our full respect You might be killed anyway due to some defect, One shouldn't place a high value on the criticism It's not fair to feed praise to an arena of cynicism.

An honourable tribute to valiant hearts Sotto, not only in war but in everyday life too there’s faithful folk who valiantly fight the good fight, shining God’s light o’er the dark by day and by night. All the best Belle

Who said "Cowards die many times before their actual death, but the valiant never tastes death but only once?" You seem to be elaborating on it . Yes, all the soldiers who died in safeguarding their country are worthy of respect. One should be heroic and not cowardly. A highly inspiring poem. All the Best.
