Bravo for this very fine tribute to our Veterans,and all military!
They deserve all the accolades they get!Good to see you ,Lisa!

The agony of war leaves its scars on all.

Brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eyes Lisa, the same kind I had today when I visited my father's grave///Private Perry, WWII, we do not have to look far for heroes. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful tribute.

There is an excellent cadence to this poem, Lisa and the content so fitting on this day of celebrating those who have served and never forgetting those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Really good write, very strong and points made clearly. Thank you for remembering all who have served.
Take care,
Sherry

Very fitting words this day and always.

Lisa,

Nobody pens tributes to our soldiers any better than you. Thank you for honoring those who serve(d), in peacetime and in war. Thank you for remembering the terrible cost of freedom - those who poured their lives out on foreign (and now National) soil. Tears are running down my face as I remember my Daddy, his four brothers and my Mom's brother. They march to Heaven's orders now. My brother and cousins who served - thank God they're still alive. THESE are my heroes, as are all military men and women and our valient Veterans, who deserve much more than mere words can express. Powerful, powerful -

Their stories will be heard, read, told, as long as we remember.

((((HUGS)))) and love, and a grateful salute, Karla.
