some of us carry guns and weapons
while others carry wrenches and parts

some of us call tactical formations
while others sit behind computers watching for torpedoes

some of us run in ranks for hours in training
while others click on the screen to get smarter

some of us ride the planes to victory while risking their life
while others direct them in a tower from afar 

some of us stay up on watch to defend our territory
while others burn in the desert marching to their next way point

some of us fight fires on board a ship knowing it may be our last breath
while others prepare the next meal so we are to survive the next day

some of us saw an opportunity
while others saw it as their final option

some of us are willing to die for what's ours
while others know it won't do much in the equation

some of us know this is just the beginning
while others know there is no end...

some of us go home to see their families for the holidays
while others tear drop freezes on the barrel of a gun on Christmas day

no matter who or what we are
black, white, asian, or even hispanic
we all had a choice
to serve

we are the united states military
we are one
24/7 on watch for you
for your future, for your tomorrow
we are....who we are....
I wrote this thinking about my job (which I hate) and let me tell ya, there's a lot to think about. Even though we have many kinds of jobs, we have the same mission. So for us to complete it, we all have to do our part to make sure it's a success. 

we are who we are <3 enjoy!
