listen u limey brit cunts...and u mini skirt wearing scott's ..if it wasn't for AMERICAN soldiers,sailors and airmen...you'd be eating kroutt right about now...and as for being emotional, I've seen men to which are some of the bravest, badassed Royal Marines get chocked up over less...WHY? Because their human and selfless and they know what life,freedom and love is worth, you wanna know what its like? Stand beside and with them in a fire fight, get hit by an IED pick up the bits of friends

I am the smaller sister of a US soldier. This story made me cry. I've heard it more than once. I almost never cry but this means more to me than anything. I will become a US marine and make my brother proud. To all families of soldiers it is as hard as being a soldier you have to carry on and not look back

It doesn't really matter who really wrote it :/ even though this is an Army poem, it honors every U.S military man and woman who sacrifice their lives and comforts. Thank you to all who serve and may you all have a Merry Christmas, every American should know of your sacrifices.

My brother will be joining the marines once he graduates in may. It's going to be the hardest day ever just watching him leave, period. He is truly my best friend & I know he's gonna make a difference but this poem just makes me cry every time. Never fails.

Thank you to all who serve.

My man served with all his life. I will always live him.

"All have some, some gave ALL!"

I'll always love you my hero, my love David.

@Bandgeek174 God bless you, little one. I'm so sorry you have to see all of the hateful comments posted here, where you came to read this poem and think about your big brother. Sending hugs and prayers to you, to him and to all of your family. From one Marine's sister to another...Semper Fi.
