Thoughts of another warrior

Each of us have battles to wage, scrimmages to fight, paths of life to conquer, the majority of us emerge victorious carrying within our soul the memories of lost moments, but none the less, we emerge the winner.

Some of us have seen the face of combat and walked away to live another day, changed and carrying with us a demon that we make peace with and learn to coexist with only to face additional battles later in life, those of health, life or relationships.

The fact remains that within each of us resides a warrior, it emerges from our soul to face its enemies each time life’s problems confront us, it faces them head on and with fortune and luck, it walks away the winner to fight another day.

Today while reading the blog of a warrior presently living within the wire in Iraq, Fun with Hand Grenades, I was immediately overcome with memories of long ago, those I have stored within the locked portion of my mind, memories of friends and brothers no longer with us. I read what he had written and immediately knew what he was feeling within his mind. He was presently lost and he was trying very hard to make peace with something that he is unable to talk about at this time.

My heart goes out to him because as many others I understand what he is facing resulting from actions as a soldier he already faced. Stop by his small place on the web and read what is on his mind, while you are there let him know you support him, let him know that all is well and let him know you care.
