Just some thing I came across.

The Warrior's Pledge....
Oh warrior,My brother,my sister:
We once prepared for battle,and served
our cause as best we could .
Perhaps we are stained by blood shed by

others,
Or carry scars from our wounds.
Yet our task is not complete until we
have acknowledged one another.
Oh warrior , my brother, my sister I offer
you the following:
I will honor your experience of service
Recognizing that while your trials may

not be mine,
The terrors of war bind us together.
I will listen to your story, and share with

you my own ,
For without each other we cannot know

the truth,
Nor can we tell the story to our children.

I will value your life,
Even though in the past we may have
sought to best one another
Through our intraservice rivalry,
Today your life is preious to me .

I will give you the gift of my presence,
That we may know each other as the

Warriors we are,

Complete our task,
And welcome each other into our homes.

Auther unknown
