A Soldier

[Tez3]

I've pinched this from the Scots Guards Facebook site as I thought many would appreciate it. I believe it may be by an American?


'There is discipline in A Soldier
you can see it when he walks,
There is honor in A Soldier
you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in A Soldier
you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in A Soldier
that he will not compromise.
There is something in A Soldier
that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in A Soldier
that beats from his heart.
A Soldier isn't a title any man
can be hired to do,
A Soldier is the soul of that man
buried deep inside of you.
A Soldier's job isn't finished after
an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
A Soldier is always A Soldier
even while he sleeps.
A Soldier serves his country first
and his life is left behind,
A Soldier has to sacrifice what
comes first in a civilian's mind.
If you are civilian -
I am saying this to you.....
next time you see A Soldier
remember what they do.
A Soldier is the reason our land
is 'Home of the free',
A Soldier is the one that is brave
protecting you and me.
If you are A Soldier -
I am saying this to you.....
Thank God for EVERY SOLDIER
Thank God for what YOU do!

Now quite a shameless plug, if you go on Facebook and join their group you can get the link for their Colonel's fund, donate and you will get a wristband, donate a bit more and you will get a CD of the absolute best in military music played by their band and pipe band.It will bring shivers down your spine I promise! They need the money badly to support the families of the wounded with things like travel costs to hospital etc. So I have no shame in begging quite frankly!
