a large coffin is in the center of a crowd of people. In the coffin is a man who sacrificed his life for his country, for what he believed in. Men standing in a line holding rifles fire off shots. They do it as a symbol of the great honor and dignity he deserves. His family cries and his friends and squad mates place his dog tags on the coffin. He was a man who sacrificed everything his family his friends and most importantly his life. If he were forgotten his memory would still be there he will never fully go away not a hero like him or any other soldier. Who fight for what they believe in. They take the flag off the coffin and give it to his wife.

It's beautiful I wish I could be like that bird I think. That I could fly away from trouble and not have the trouble of money or any of that. Just fly and forget all that, life will never be easy I know that, but just for a day I'd like a break. That's all just one day one break. I get in my car and drive to the nearest bar I need a drink.
