A few lines from "A Soldier's Honor":

"Our lives are built upon a framework

The framework of privilege and freedom

Purchased through the blood, sweat and tears

Of our soldiers, these brave men and women

A soldier's heart has known courage

For they've placed liberty before their own life

And in solemn decision committed

To preserving the rights due mankind

Leaving the comfort and safety of loved ones

Entrusted with a high and noble purpose ..."

part of the last verse in the poem:

"For a soldier's honor doesn't end with their death

HONOR becomes their eternal legacy

An inheritance left to this earth and mankind..."
