A hero thinks of others before they think of themselves

I hate this! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
This is a very good poem and i want to thank you personaly, I have lost 4 of my family members in the war and it warmed my heart to relize that someone actualy does relize what out heros goes throught. Thank You.
I really love your poem! I love the dedication too. It's sad that you had to dedicate it to fallen soldiers, but it is a great way to honor them.
i am so proud of you nick
finding out resentley that this poem you wrote
was used at the funeral of an american marine
someone you had never meet or even known existed is a great tribute
to your talent, also that out of all the hundreds of great poets the family chose
your work, which has also been posted on a memorial forum for a deceased
firefighter well done
