"I was that, which others cared not to be. I went where others feared to go and did what others failed to do. 
 
I asked nothing from those that gave nothing. and, reluctantly, accepted the thought of eternal loneliness...should I fail.  
 
I have seen the face of terror, felt the chill of fear, warmed to the touch of love.
 
I have hoped, pained, cried. 
 
But, foremost, lived in times others would say, best forgotten. At the very least, in later days, I will be able to say with greatest pride, that I was indeed a SOLDIER".
