" The Soldiers Life"
The soldiers life is not for all
A soldier must be willing to give his all
He is overworked and underpaid
A truer patriot was never made
Ready to go at any time
Wherever there is trouble or the first sign
His courage and honor are unsurpassed
Ready and willing to complete the task
Travelling to lands both near and far
He stands his post and looks at the stars
Wondering what he might have done
If he had not chosen to carry a gun
Remember the next time that you are driving by
And see the flag flying proud and high
That somewhere out there a soldier stands
Weary and cold in a foreign land
Protecting our country from our foes
Standing tall and proud come rain or snow.
("Poem: The Soldiers Life.")

Winston Churchill
In the words of Winston
Churchill, “Success is not
final, failure is not fatal: it
is the courage to continue
that counts.” Courage and
determination are necessary
for success (Churchill).
Failure just means that you
aren’t well enough prepared,
or not determined to
succeed. As Prime Minister
of Britain for multiple years
and a leader through World
War II, Churchill has much
experience and can definitely
be credited for both his
successes and failures.
(Churchill)
