and we are more than brothers in arms, we are brothers in hearts, liberty and principles has to be defended, I prefer to be death than to lost my liberty, every man has his mission, Soldiers are men of honors, mercy and principles.
Good Poem.

Comment from Carol D Parker
This is excellent. So solemn ans wise.
Your words of choice are comforting,
yet powerful enough to show the courage
of those soldiers. The writing is
excellent, Creative and heartfelt.
Thank you for sharing it.

Hello deepwater,
you used the famous quote very well--
"Old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier in that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the sight to see that duty."

Comment from fastdigits
Certainly appropriate at any time
of the year, but brought home more
emotionally the time of Memorial Day
and D Day, June 6, when old soldiers
stormed the cliffs that ran red with
their blood.
A beautifully scripted poem of that
breed of man, the old soldier who
never dies.
Well done

Comment from Donovan
The idea that war is inevitable, at least this far in human history, never deters us from hoping that someday it will cease. But until then, it is good to reflect on our service, the part we played and the legacy we leave.
