" The Soldiers Life" The soldiers life is not for all A soldier
must be willing to give his all He is overworked and underpaid A
truer patriot was never made Ready to go at any time Wherever there
is trouble or the first sign His courage and honor are unsurpassed
Ready and willing to complete the task Travelling to lands both
near and far He stands his post and looks at the stars Wondering
what he might have done If he had not chosen to carry a gun
Remember the next time that you are driving by And see the flag
flying proud and high That somewhere out there a soldier stands
Weary and cold in a foreign land Protecting our country from our
foes Standing tall and proud come rain or snow. ("Poem: The
Soldiers Life.")

Winston Churchill In the words of Winston Churchill, Success is
not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that
counts. Courage and determination are necessary for success
(Churchill). Failure just means that you arent well enough
prepared, or not determined to succeed. As Prime Minister of
Britain for multiple years and a leader through World War II,
Churchill has much experience and can definitely be credited for
both his successes and failures. (Churchill) (Churchill and the
Tommy Gun) (Churchills Dentures)
