We took this job knowing that we may never get rich.
We 've missed out so many holidays, church/mosque services and special occasions in order to protect lives.
We are expected to work miracles and do things other people are scared to do and even save lives.
It has been proven that our life expectancy is shorter than theirs because of the stress, we go through and the sickness, we get exposed to, and yet there are no hero movies about us.
We must give our life everyday for people we dont know, have never met before and even those who don't like us.
When our family is home suffering alone, we are out here in the cold, dangerous situations and all in the name of protecting property while saving lives.
We are warriors who gave oath to die for our people!
*We are ''SOLDIERS''
TO ALL THE SOLDIERS OUT THERE LIVING AND DEAD, I SALUTE YOUR SACRIFICE FOR PEACE AND FOR THOSE WHO PAID THE SUPREME PRIZE MAY YOUR SACRIFICE NEVER BE IN VAIN.
