A Soldier's Job

A soldier’s job is to protect America. A two-year old boy who is sucking his thumb, standing next to his older sister who is five. A middle-schooler, a girl, popular in her own mind. A high school graduate, about to start college and become a computer animator.  A beggar in the streets of Chicago, Illinois, big brown eyes pleading<BR> for life.<BR> A father,<BR> watching his child<BR> succeed<BR> in the form of music.<BR> A soldier’s job<BR> is to<BR> protect<BR> America.<BR> And so they do.
