The Call Of Duty
Quote appearing on print:
"Soldiers know what a hero is. They watch them fall, they watch them continue in
harm’s way, they see heroes stealthily moving in fluid unison towards
uncertainty, with no uncertainty. They are the ones who never tell the world how
they are changing themselves forever with every push, with every mile and hill,
and with every bold promise of sunrise, because those exact a perspective
unachievable by the common man. Their reality is to awaken with the knowledge
that today is a day through which they may survive. And they must make all
necessary preparations to do so. While the world goes about its business,
soldiers go about business of a different kind, a kind they are not at liberty
to evaluate in terms of right and wrong because their leaders will make those
immortal decisions for them. But one thing is certain: There is a great place
and it’s called home, and every home needs to be protected. Soldiers are holders
of a more acute perspective than anyone else because of the stakes involved in
their undertakings. Enlightened to life’s extreme flanks, soldiers know Hell yet
pray to return because they have seen worse. But they also know when things
don’t get any better. Such certainty is difficult for others to grasp unless
they, too, have awakened to the trumpet’s blare, weapon’s crack, or worse. In
competition, winning and losing on the playing surface are clearly definable.
But on the surface of the earth, the great protectors measure winning and losing
in more extreme units: In the lives of their countrymen, in the lives of the
ones standing beside them, and in the lands of their home. And while it’s the
unforgettable call of home that rings in soldiers’ ears throughout their
service, there is a higher call that drives them perpetually forward during
times of unthinkable circumstance. Although it offers itself to all, only a
sacred few choose to hear, and answer, The Call Of Duty."
