Answer 9

A soldier in my mind is also a soldier on my mind...my nephew who is a navy seal. He is the nicest guy who has not only an eternal perspective when it comes to the reason for living, but he is also a man who values freedom, loves his country, loves his family & hopes for a safer country.

Answer 10

A Soldier (in my mind) is someone who has taken on one of the biggest responsibilities possible.

They will do what is right, even if it means giving their life to defend and/or protect their unit/innocent victims/etc. Staying behind, signing up for another tour...Brave doesn't come close to defining them.

They deserve our utmost respect, appreciation and dignity.

A person who is in the Army.  If they were in the Marines they would be a Marine, if they were in the Air Force they would be an Airman, if they were in the Navy, they would be a sailor.  

Answer 13
