My heroes: Daddy and his four brothers who went to war.


Poem Artwork


Five went to war; five
came home; my Daddy,
his brothers:  heroes,
all.  Two Navy, two
Air Force, one Army,
one a survivor
of Bataan.  Over
the years they died one
by one, 'til only
the youngest was left
of the Honor Guard:
my Daddy.  They served
their Nation well; for
that, I am grateful.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (6/6)

It is such a disgrace that some people can talk trash or abuse our Men and Women who have given their service or their lives to protect our Freedom! Regardless of right or wrong decisions made in the White house! They served and were willing to give their lives for "us"!

I salute "you" Honor Guard!!!

God Bless, God Speed,

I don't often get time to look for long at AD but you have been a great support to me, Karla as has Karen..such brave and lovely girls. I enjoyed this very much as my Dad was a RAF man and fought in the War. Also loved, loved the very feeling poems about your faith in God, simple, and from the heart. I want to hug you. Lorri
