The Military

Posted on April 10, 2024April 18, 2024 By Chris Whittemore No Comments on The Military

The stories are the same, on how it began.

By boarding the buses, their journey begins.

They cross through the gates; they have finally arrived.

Bootcamp for their services, there is no place to hide. 

No matter the expectation; or thoughts you had before.

When the DI boards the bus that night.

Chaos soon begins. 

Through sweat and tears; and lonely nights.

They will earn their place among the best.

The journey has just begun.

Into the history books they will be written. 

What will their legacy be?

The ones who came before them. 

Is a list as long as time.

Their legacy is entrusted. 

To the ones who stand and fight.

We are all standing in the shadows.

Of the legacy they leave behind. 

The wars they fought; and the stories that remain.

Are lasting reminders of the debt that has been paid.

It is time to write your chapter;  it is finally graduation day.

The books will soon be published, and sold on the streets someday.
