The restaurant on the side of the road during wartime a couple decades ago.
Act IV Duty
One of my favorite things about my job as an RP in support of the FMF deployment to Camp Lemonier was the humanitarian work. We made such an impact, it was an awesome experience to be part of.

HONOR
I am unsure how to credit the photo & story. They both inspire in me a spirit of strength and a desire to share the emotions they bring out in this poem below. Weathered hearts look solemnly upon this child, Expression held back, deep, deep, sorrow, The sparrow neither sings, nor chirps, Little chickadee looks…
