In gratitude to those now serving.
I was that which others did not want to be
I went where others feared to go and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing and reluctantly accepted.
The thought of eternal loneliness
Should I fail I have seen the face of terror. Felt the stinging cold of fear and.
Enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, pained and hoped, but most of all, I have lived times others
would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that i was proud of what was.
I was a soldier, a marine, a sailor, an airman.
POW - MIA
You Are Not Forgotten
1998 Father Edward Dennis O'Brien, USMC
