War is an intense thing, possibly the most painful of all things. When soldiers are heading for war, they will have some unpleasant things in their mind. They don’t know what will be their fate. They are going to sacrifice for others. But they never show their mind to others, they just hide it inside their mind and give inspiration and courage to others. They may end up in a terrible death but never give up. At some point, these brave men and women may need a lovely hug and kiss. Some of them will have their family to send them off. But some people may not have even a family; they hold their own as no one came to send them off. For all of these people, there’s Elizabeth. She embraces all of them the same and has been doing as such for a long time.
