    About this ebook

    It is the hope of both authors that everyone who reads this book may relate personally, in some way, to some of the poems contained in this book, and know that they are not alone in their feelings. Whether good feelings, or bad, the intent of this book of poetry is to let others know that their feelings are genuine, real, and they are not alone in the way they perceive any given situation. That there are others who share the same feelings that they do; and for better or worse, no one has to endure or suffer alone, nor keep quiet their feelings of success and victory.

    We all share common threads of emotions and are all lifted up by hearing of someone elses experiences; both successes and failures. Each of us has something to share, something we can relate to, and something of ourselves that we can pass along to others to make the road they are traveling on a little smoother than the person who went before them.

    We all indeed have something to share with each other. We all indeed have knowledge that someone can benefit from hearing about. It is to that end that we have composed this book of poetry and stand-alone thoughts; that someones day may be a little bit brighter, just knowing that they are not alone in the way they are thinking or feeling.

    From Master Sergeant (MSG) Gordon L Ewell's initial entry into Military Service, his superiors recognized his outstanding initiative and a deep care for his fellow Soldiers. He has been recognized as one who would do whatever it takes to accomplish the mission, or help a fellow Soldier in need. His 24 year career has been marked with distinction through notable accomplishments. MSG Ewell has attended numerous courses to sustain his military proficiency. He has graduated from over 30 Army Resident Schools, graduating as the Honor Graduate, or in the top 10% of his class, from nearly every one of them. He has completed, with a Superior rating, over 1,000 hours of Army Correspondence Training. Additionally, he earned an Associate of Science degree in April of 1999. During his service in Iraq, MSG Ewell performed 59 challenging and dangerous missions, which involved both the coordination of Convoy Route Clearance and Route Clearance Observation missions, based upon his knowledge and expertise in these areas. MSG Ewell was vital in the creation of the first Route Clearance Handbook, and was further recognized by the Corps staff as the Multi-National Corps Subject Matter Expert, in Route Clearance. His lessons learned in Iraq have been published in many Army periodicals. MSG Ewell led over 33% of the missions he was on in Iraq. He was recognized by his superiors to be unparalleled in his physical stamina and toughness complemented with superior technical and tactical capabilities. This was clearly demonstrated on the battlefield when his efforts under heavy enemy fire were unrivaled, which earned him a Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart Medal, and the Combat Action Badge. During his Combat Missions, on six separate occasions, a vehicle he was in was blown-up by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). One of the explosions was so powerful that it blew impacted wisdom teeth out the side of his jaw. In addition to major jaw damage, he suffers from broken vertebrae in his neck, damage to his lower spine, permanent loss of hearing (leaving him legally deaf), anatomical loss of his right eye, and peripheral/bi-lateral vision loss in his left eye, leaving him legally blind. He has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Neurologic Bladder, loss of balance, an abnormal gait, and is fighting to overcome Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). MSG Ewell returned from combat duty in December 2006, and assigned to the 640th Regiment (Regional Training Institute). Because of the severity of his combat injuries, he was Medically Retired in February 2010. Today, he continues to serve with distinction, as a Member of the Blue Star Riders, as a Volunteer at the George E. Wahlen V.A. Hospital in Salt Lake City, with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Disabled American Veterans, and the American Legion. The retired Master Sergeant and his wife currently reside in Eagle Mountain, Utah.
