An MI Soldier’s Legacy<br />
By Diana Ives<br />
You were a young soldier on the front lines. In the<br />
jungles, swamps and desert.<br />
You fought those who would oppose our Freedoms.<br />
Glimpses of your other life and the sacrifices you made<br />
keeping us safe is frightening as well as heartbreaking.<br />
Your country asked, you marched forward.<br />
Your family asked, you provided.<br />
Your wife asked, and you returned safely home.<br />
You were the eyes for our military on the battlefield.<br />
You provided real time intelligence for our fighting<br />
men and women on the front line.<br />
You gave them a chance to return home to their<br />
families, a chance they might not have had otherwise.<br />
Your country asked, you led the way.<br />
Your family asked, and you provided love and support.<br />
Your wife asked, and you returned safely home.<br />
You gave of yourself through mentoring, guidance,<br />
morality.<br />
You taught our young soldiers to be all they could be.<br />
You taught them to trust in themselves and their<br />
comrades, to truly be an Army of one.<br />
You showed through your actions what it was to be a<br />
soldier.<br />
You country asked, you gave your all.<br />
Your family asked, you gave adventure, travel and<br />
more than dreams could allow.<br />
Your wife asks you now to look back with pride on a<br />
career well done.<br />
Knowing a soldier never really retires; in your heart<br />
you will always wear the uniform.<br />
You fought, earned and secured the freedom we pass to<br />
the next generation.<br />
You are the reason others will return safely home.<br />
