Favorite Quote:
" You will miss 100% of the shots that you don't take."
-Wayne Gretzky


He walks head down,
with spirits low

He fights fiercely,
he fights with his gun ready,
he fights with willpower.
He helps others without a word.

You wonder,
who is he?
why is he here?
Is he fighting for money?
Or fame?
Or maybe just for something to do?

Then you know
He pulls out a picture,
its old and worn,
in it happiness is seen.

He fights for freedom.
He fights for safety
He fights for his country

I was sitting and thinking about who had used an old WW2 bayonet knife that I had and then came up with this.
