obiZEAL:
For the past fiftythree weeks they have been away from family and friends
For the past twelve months they have been manning check points and patrolling street ends
For every day you have enjoyed the split unit of you home, they've been been under the burning sun keeping the enemies away
For every night you have enjoyed the warmth of your bed, they have laid in the freezing trenches providing you solace
For every moment you have hugged a friend, kissed a loved one, grabbed a beer, dribbled a ball, they have been holding on to their rifles and their breath defending all
''Arise O'come patriot'' and they rose to answer the call
In distant land and at home
Wearing the identity of our country, serving our father land with love and strength and faith
They are flesh and blood whose love for their country has, to the hopeless, restored hope and strengthen the spine of the weak
It is for the love of our country that they have left family and comfort to go into the desert field
It is for the love of our country and not the hate of the enemy that they have put on their boots of courage and helmet of bravery
Matching into the enclaves of the enemy, displaying gallantry
They stand between the peace and happiness that is and the sorrow and affliction that could become
They have felt all emotions, from the pain of leaving loved ones behind to the joy of returning to a warm hug after an accomplished task
From the anguish of loosing a battle to the euphoria of winning a war
It is to preserve our sovereignty that they have sacrificed their today, tomorrow and their eternity.
...To The Nigerian Army, Air Force, Navy, Police Force, Civil Defence, Civilian JTF and all those who have kept us safe for this past year...accept our deepest and most profound Appreciation!
