Thank you, Georg Mateos, for the comment on my blog. Been rattling around in my head. And for your service. Semper Fi, Marine!

Poem Artwork

What if nobody talked about war?  Would
that mean a soldier didn't die, come home
broken in body and mind?

It'd be too easy to forget ...

You say the battle is over:  never!  It will
never be until the parting shot of breath
over the bow of life:

to honor those who serve(d).

To remember sacrifice, paid.
To keep promises, made.
We owe them this much:


THANK YOU, VETERANS.

"From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine."

I've yet to formulate my thoughts sorrounding Remembrance and Vets' Days this year... just too much going on and it's all too emotive. One old guy collecting for Poppy sales broke my heart as I dropped some more coins into his moneybox... "We can never give enough" is all I managed to say... As always, thank you for your voice in this, Karla... relentless, true and strong like those who serve. xx
