Veteran's Day tribute (sorry a day late)

[shadowknows69]

Whether fiery desert or blinding snow
Give the word Sir, and away we shall go.

Shoulder to shoulder my brothers and I
None of us asking questions
Just doing it 'til we die.
Wherever our flag may fly.

We are the machine
Driven to fight and defend
Operated sometimes by fools
But our will never bends
Our honor never ends.
The men at my back; my only friends.

If you fall by my side,
I shall fight with both our pride
And carry you home
For your flag covered ride.
Although I've also died inside.

We that returned, left a part of us "there"
Owned now by our opponent, and the horrors we shared.
A bond only known between warriors, women and men.
And though we paid a price, we'd do it all again.
Even warriors actually hate war, but we do what we do.
So the people we love and protect, never will have to.
-S

To all of our Veterans everywhere I salute you for your service.
