Willaim,

"...Known as the M.I.A.,
It choked me
As the Honor Guard
Walked silently...."

It sure does, WIlliam, it sure does. One of my Uncles, we called him Uncle Duke, was a survivor of Bataan. Thank God he came home. Intact? No. He refused to talk about the horrors he experienced...many other families are still in limbo, waiting to hear A N Y T H I N G about their dads, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters...a sobering write, written with respect and sadness. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Veteran's Day I have been going for the special services at the D/FW National Cemetary, not too far from me. I've felt the heaviest sighs come when the "black" flag is posted. Your poem does honor for our MIAs, William.

The flag that meant the most
Was that silent black flag

D'Artagnan,

I walk in cadence with your dark pen, and tears flood the gates of my heart...but I believe

'There is nothing hidden, that shall not be revealed.." St. Luke 8:17

God bless you, William
I salute you, Sir!
Love&hugs, Rhonda

You are right Ed they are not forgotten
just that we don't know their where about
they will live within my heart for ever
as long as I breathe

William

The sadder heroes of War are also the families who never have closure. That is another terror we seldom hear about. My heart is heavy laden today.

THEY ARE NOT FORGOTTEN...ed

I thank God for you William and all the service Vets and those serving now this one brought me to tears..

To you and all who have served, thank you. I am not an American but I live here now. The freedom enjoyed by so many is as a result of the sacrifice of brave individuals. A moving tribute.
