A reflection and reminder to myself to do my job in support of Marines

Marines, One Corpsman Kabul, Afghanistan August 26^th, 2021

In our twenties and finally fighting for something we believe in.

Seeing evil and became the Shepard in the face of wolves.

We Know of a better life and we intend to share it with the oppressed

As much as we are able to

Being a part of history was just another thing, honor our legacy and earn that Eagle, Globe and Anchor each day.

Making the parents proud

We raised our right hand and saw the self-sacrificing son or daughter make the commitment.

To ourselves, our communities, organization and country.

We would see it through one way or another.

We’re proud to have served those around us and smiled our best in the face of adversity

We served to maintain good in this world like our forefathers did.

We inspire the next generation to follow our example and never our failures.

We may leave behind our names, but never our values that hold true since the beginning of our homes and that bar.

We know you carry the grief of who we are; no longer to hear our voices, adventures and challenges to make you proud.

It was our decision and ours alone

Fight for what you believe is right

Mourn and live

Share the loss you experienced and support the next generation of parents that deal with loss of their precious children.
