| The Definition of A Soldier |  |
| The Army has brought me honor
The uniform has given me pride
For I now protect the freedom
For which many men have died
I stand up next to these select few men
Who do the same as me
And I respect each one of them
For all their bravery
I know I can turn to a comrade
And say at any time
I'll put my life in your hands
And you can put your's in mine
But I know not everyone
Can do the same as me
It takes a special kind of man
To defend our liberty
And I know that one day
I'll be laid in hallowed ground
But this Soldier won't go quietly
I will make my Country proud | By Joshua Blanton
