I was married to a man who served for 29 years in hopes of retirement and a good life. Sadly Agent Orange took him away from me. Why I wrote A picture on the Pillow.

Thank you for this lovely tribute

Love and Light

It's so hard for wives and children who see their men go off to war. And not only men, women too. How much better the world would be without war. Good poem Donna. Thank you for reading my poem.

A very powerful, heart moving poetic tribute that seems to march before us with a majestic cadence of its own. I was a military man, and I salute your dad and husband's noble service. You remind us of those who remain back at the home front. Very fitting indeed.

What a wonderful tribute to the military men in your life! Thank you for pointing out the people who are left behind at home; as a former military wife, I know first hand how difficult it is to carry on while dad is gone, putting on a brave front while mom has her fears for the future. Your poem touched my heart and made me smile... a great feat for a poet to accomplish! Joy L. Hale

A touching write, Donna. These brave men and women who gave their lives so willingly ought to be highly commended. The loved ones they leave behind are to be equally commended, for it can't be easy knowing the danger their men/women are in. Both have my respect and prayers.

Thanks for sharing!

I do not think we as Americans do not support our troops. It is the wars like Nam, and Iraq, we do not support. I say this as a veteran of the Korean war.

GOD BLESS YOU, And our Military.

Well said Donna and thank you for allowing this poem to grace the pages of the soon to be released, "The Price of Freedom." You and possibly a dozen other contributors from Author's Den were kind enough to allow your works to be used in this very worthwhile project. My thanks to one and all. Dick
