Pararescuemen

I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go,
and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing,
And reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal
loneliness...should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear,
and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's love.
I have cried, pained and hoped...
but most of all,
I have lived times others would say best forgotten.
Always I will be able to say,
that I was proud of what I was: a P.J.
