    Wekoba, my colleague you remain an inspiration to many of us. I can remember being in the same ward with you during our painful periods of nursing injuries and psychological trauma. Our bravery act has been tasted and there are no doubts of our sincere patriotism. We have accepted our fate in exchange of our service delivery. Given the chance, we will still scale up to our primary duties and be in the front line

    Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. This man did and it cost him alot. He accomplished more than most and for that he should be proud. The people he is fighting wished us harm. A good soldier fights not because he hates what's in front of him but because he loves what is behind him and that is something most of these young men either sign up for or contribute to and for that sacrifice I am in their debt and that is what compels me to want to serve as well. For this proud soldier no sacrifice is too great. Duty first .
    YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND UNTIL YOU'VE SERVED.
