NATO, Australia, UK forces have fought side by side an impossible fight that at points is just a survival game for a band of brothers. Over three administrations the goals and commitments have changed, but the dedication of those forces has never wavered. This really shows the importance of real thoughtful leadership and a mission with an end goal. As forces escalate in size it may seem that we move back in time, all along the war is almost forgotten to all. Where are we as a country to forget a war? The longest war in our history. It's a machine that can't be stopped; built on the commitment of those who put country and mission over personal well being. As we march out east To the valley of thorns We look through our tears But do we belong You can not breath Through the smoke and fire You can not live when we die by the sword Angels we pray Our side will prevail As we make our way To the end of this world The bullets fly, The shadows come They pass across this valley of thorns We move ahead We are locked behind When We move ahead we walk back in time As we march out east through this forgotten war This barren soil is stained with our blood We must look back To see where we’ve come So many years Through this valley of thorns
