You have captured the truth within this poem,Karla, one we should remember everyday...well done
peace, Carole~

You have given us this tribute with proper passion for our hero's Karla -- thanks for sharing and giving us a perspective everyone needs to be aware of -- may peace and love be always with you my dear friend -- Jon Michael

I hope so, too.

So sad, Karla, and so well written.

I did indeed!

The soldiers will still dying, the only hope is that they do it for a good reason. Death is a hell of a high price to pay for worthless political blink-blink.

Great use of the den for your words, Karla. I pray they hit home.
God bless.

Well said Karla and sadly so many seem to forget what the day is for, others are never taught...

Be always safe,
Karen

So sad many people have forgotten our nations heroes, many, of whom, gave their lives for our freedom ... no, they'd rather celebrate with picnics, sales, or getting together with family and friends and getting into trouble ... pathetic! It's time we get back to the REAL reason why we celebrate a holiday like Memorial Day: remembering our fallen and those who came home, but have since gone home (like our daddy and his four brothers, as well as our mom's brother), NOT anticipating the big sales or acting stupid! Sorry, but you've touched a nerve with this one! Powerful, heartbreaking write; well penned, Karla!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

So very true Karla, Only for them there would be nothing to celebrate, but so sad when you think of what they gave for this day, their lives.

Newfie hugs are on the way, Rose
