Active Duty Poem by Gwendolyn Anderson

Exciting adventure
disciplined team work
Leadership and commitment,
an honor, no less

Reprogrammed,
totally trusting your fellow man
anxiety filled,
learning your next command
pure excitement, thinking
all the great places you'll see
commitment daily
to our country, USA

Great rewards deserved
to all women and men who serve
Special Thanks for the fallen,
deserving special Honors
No more birthdays and holidays,
left behind to mourn are love ones
and offspring
reliving each dream unachieved
