Soldier

William brooks 1959 (Salem)



I want to thank you soldier for fighting for me and trying to gain the peace. For its going too far and this you can see the fighting really must cease. So many have died a lot of lives lost what an awful shame. I sit and I wonder of the enormous cost death its only fame. They fight for us all just for us to stay alive and do our daily routine. And risk it all as they hustle and thrive to make a peaceful scene. So as you do fight I send you my prayers and hope that it all ends. Maybe one day victory will be declared to give us a God given win.
