We Offer Our Gratitude
Sacrificial Sacrifice, Free From Distraction
Discipline, honor and devotion
Infantries emboldened and true
Steadfast support and salvation
Tried and true vows for country , renewed
Remembering their unspeakable sacrifice
Acts of valor and of selfless pride
Combat demands and collects an unconditional price
That comes with the loss of a life
Imagine a world without these, the bravest
Only their sacrifice allows us to be free
Now and forever we are called to be thankful for those face to face with the beast

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
