He enlisted at 18,
Soon after graduation he was off to the military.
With in a year he witnessed many terrors unspeakable.
At 19 he was fighting in a country with few freedoms.
The terror was more than he imagined.
They tried to bring peace to these people.
Sometimes the things he would see made it hard to believe in God.
Why would God allow such suffering?
By 20 he had seen enough to make him thankful he was American.
He knew freedom doesnt come free,
For he had seen what it costs to have it.
He was one of the many who handed his life over to protect ours.
