Tribute

A tribute to these Special Forces Soldiers: I once read there are two kinds of people in this world. Those who watch and those who are watched. One group envies the other for the things that the others do, that they would not, or could not. They are weak and they believe it. There is more to this world than we know and will ever know. Putting stock in that; that's faith. Putting faith in each other; that's brotherhood. There is nothing better than being able to count on a brother. Knowing that there are such things that are so great that they are worth dying for. But dying isn't the ultimate sacrifice; Faith is. Because everything begins with faith, and for a few lucky few it ends with faith as well. Faith in honor, faith in brotherhood and friendship, faith in country, and finally faith in God. Special forces soldiers on the field of battle fight not for a flag, but for each other. The greatest of SF soldiers fight even for the ungrateful; for the people who silently watch and envy those who do what they could not. So pity not the SF soldier who fought on the field of battle. Pity the person who did not, because that person never knew faith; that person never knew brotherhood, honor and country. Our hearts are with you and your family. THANK YOU!!!

I found this on the Special Forces memorial page. Thought it was pretty good.
