Heroes (Poem)

Dedicated to Madonna Higgins, Steve Fowler, and Matt “Ninja Bunny” Gegner
In memory of John Edds, who died serving our country in Iraq

Definition of a hero:
A person who puts themselves at risk, usually grievous danger, for the benefit of another.

Courage, Integrity
They stand and face danger
Unity, Faith
Doing whatever it takes
Situational Awareness, Adaptability
Knowing the role they play
Trust, Dependability
They stand together, supporting one another,
When most would tremble
Caring, Compassion
They do what most could not
Strength, Service
They make us safe back at home,
And the world a better place
True Americans, Patriots
They stand for freedom
National Treasures, Respected
Our heroes,
Standing for what is right, true, & free
Honored for serving our country


Notes: Across all branches of the military, re-enlistment is at its highest: 115%
You CANNOT entice people to re-enlist for a losing cause.
Our military personnel active/reserves make up <1%>
