Hi everyone,Ok, and today I am finally blogging about the male veterans. You thought I had forgotten right? Well, no I just had to have different blogging topics otherwise I think it would have been too overwhelming for you to read so much information in one blog. Anyhow, so with that mentioned, let's get this blog going. Today I just wanted to blog about all the male veterans that I met. There were fathers, brothers, uncles, sons, so many different people that I was able to talk to that chose to serve. It was really interesting to hear their stories of what they had experienced when they were abroad serving their deployments. But perhaps the aspect which I really thought was interesting to hear was the reasoning of why they decided to go into the military in the first place. Some had a long family history of serving, some just always known they wanted to be a soldier, and some simply chose to serve because they have so much appreciation for the country that they live in and simply wanted to. Regardless, of the reason of why they decided to enlist, I think it takes a lot of courage to be able to do all the things they do. So just as I included a poem for the female veterans I thought it was only fair to include one for the male veterans as well. Hope you enjoy, it's quite patriotic but thought it would be nice to include...
A Soldiers Life
Author: SSgt. Scott E Hilligoss
The soldiers life is not for all
A soldier must be willing to give his all
He is overworked and underpaid
A truer patriot was never made
Ready to go at any time
Wherever there is trouble or the first sign
His courage and honor are unsurpassed
Ready and willing to complete the task
Travelling to lands both near and far
He stands his post and looks at the stars
Wondering what he might have done
If he had not chosen to carry a gun
Weary and cold in a foreign land
Protecting our country from our foes
Standing tall and proud come rain or snow.
