Recently, I was honored to sit with a U.S. Soldier returning from IRAQ on a flight…

I sleep safely at night…
because you keep watch.

I have more than I could ever need…
because you sacrifice your wants.

I sit here…
because you stand tall.

Because of you keeping watch…
I see the hand of God in the world.

Because of you sacrificing your wants…
I cherish my freedom.

Because of you standing tall…
I kneel and pray.
