Our profession. Our family. Til Valhalla.
No other life is like the one my brothers and sisters live. It truly is a way of life in which death always holds us in his cold embrace. He walks with us through the valley of shadows as we light our way with blood, sweat, and tears. Our families watch and pray as we make the voyage together but always alone. The struggles and sacrifice is ours to make. Not for glory or for song but for the band of brothers we become.
Our profession. Our family. Til Valhalla.
