Be assured <br />It is no glamorous thing <br /> <br />Dirt and sweat <br />Blood and tears <br />Ammo and camouflage <br />Bullets and blood <br />Tears and pain <br />Danger and death <br /> <br />These are the makings <br />Of a hero <br /> <br />A hero does not boast or brag <br />He is strong and silent <br />He works swiftly and with skill <br />Amidst turmoil <br />With bullets flying all around him <br />He looks past the danger<br /><br />Red Leg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-makes-a-hero/
