This page is in honor of those who defend
our freedom
from the past and present.
Is also in honor of two American Soldiers
that guide me since my
enlistment 20 years ago, until my Honorable Medical Discharge.
One Soldier is now CSM. Cintrón Denis, he was my senior
NCO,
he teach me how to be a good soldier,
and he show me
that no matter if you are a
woman, you can do the same
job as the guys
do. With him I learn the phrase;
"that once a soldier
always a soldier".
The other Soldier is now Major Santiago Isidoro,
He teach me that your rank should never go
over your head.
also to treat the ones over
and bellow my rank with the same respect I expect for myself.
They
always have time for any soldier that need
help or have problems.
The doors of their
offices were never close for a soldier.
I
did not have the opportunity to told them this :
"Both of you are the best example of what an
NCO and an Officer should be. I'm proud of
both of you, and I give thanks to God that gave me the opportunity to know both of you and to be under your command".
Thanks to both of you, and God Bless you. Some people come into our lives and leave a bit of
themselves in the corner of our hearts, and those
people will stay there for all time. Carmen Principe |
