Brothers in Arms

Tony36

We come from different backgrounds and upbringings

We come from different walks of life

But trained together we have

Friends, Amigos,  family we have become

Sharing life's journey with each other

 

Now here we are

The battlefield and the enemy waits

Let's give them all we got

Then give them more

 

Some of us may not make it back

I will not lie and say otherwise

But you shall never be forgotten

 

Soldiers we are

This is what we trained for

We knew the cost

 

We may not share the same blood

But brothers we all are

Now let's go out there and kick some ass

                This reading brought to mind a philadelphia feeling like the brethren and fellowship of poets and artists whose ‘pen is mightier than the sword.’

                        My father was a D.Day Veteran, no longer with us , but I will always appreciate the Sacrifice of U.S. Soldiers , Past and Present, and what they still do.
                        Well written.
