Silent
I sit humbled and silent as I meditate and take in “Memorial Day” the moment at. Being forced to Usher at a ceremony I wasn’t even supposed to attend prior I was brought on edge emotionally at the playing of the national anthem and singing of “America The Beautiful” by my sis Liz. Its crazy cause until now I’ve never actually felt proud to be a soldier,I was just content and satisfied with my decision. I’ve always prided myself for believing in something bigger than self but I never really considered serving my country as doin so till now.I’ve decided indefinitly that even If I just serve my time and get out I will take everymoment at its best and take as much as it as I can. I thank everyone who’s supported me and even better I thank those who didn’t cause in the end it only made me stronger. God Bless all who have given there lives for this cause(Country) and I pray for all those currently serving including self. Most importantly I pray for those soldiers to come cause everyone knows “It’s sometimes a dirty job but somebody’s gotta do it”….I don’t know where I’ll end up within this career but hands down I’ve met some of the most incredible people period whether it be soldier or civilian and although fear,dought and depression often try to cloud my mind I can’t seem to stop smiling cause not only am I serving my country, I’m feeling my soul with experiences,people and places I mostlikely would never beable to go this early in my life. Today I celebrate Death, Life and all things to come
