Pfc. Jamie A. Goldstein so touched Kristin Johnson with his poem about the eagerness of soldiers in training to fight for their country that she dedicated a Web site to sharing his poems and the stories of other poet warriors. "I was just blown away by this wonderful poem," Johnson said. "The voice he puts to the military is so incredible."

Johnson said Goldstein's poem inspired her to showcase his words and those of others like him. "The men and women of our armed forces are bright, intelligent and committed - especially those serving now in Afghanistan and Iraq," Johnson said. "They are doing something with their lives and for other people. They are expressing their passion, their dreams and their commitment to freedom. And I am passionate about giving them a voice," she said.
