Dear Soldier,
Thank you, sir or madam, for you service, with your life, to protect mine. You're a faceless warrior doing battle with a faceless enemy. Do not be discouraged, though, for your facelessness is not a symbol of your role in the fight. Although I do not know your name, I know you are there. You do not know me, or my face, yet you still feel the need to protect me, and my way of life.
You fight for a cause greater than any single life, even your own. You fight for freedom, but not for yours or mine only. No, you fight for the freedom of all people, so no one feels fear to step out onto the street, or to say what they feel.
You were there in The Great War, running headlong into near certain death, and why? You did it to preserve the way of life, built upon freedom. You were there in the Second World War, fighting a power of unspeakable evil, and why? You did it to preserve the way of life, built upon freedom. You were there in Korea, and Vietnam and you were ready in Cuba, and why? You did it to preserve the way of life, built upon freedom. You served in Iraq for oppressed people. Unflinching, you've returned to Iraq, now my peers, my generation and why? To preserve the way of life, built upon freedom.
Too many times, your bravery goes unnoticed, your courage brushed off. You face death every day for what? To preserve the way of life for you, for me, and the world, built upon freedom. You are all that you can be, our boys in blue, the few, the proud, and our weekend warriors.
Words will never be enough, dear soldier, but I have done my best. Thank you for all you do, you will never be forgotten.
