William, you've captured a painting here of sadness & honor to a fallen hero. He gave his life for America. So many of our young men and women are losing their lives and when we see them being returned to our Country...it's heart rendering and we wonder will this terrible war ever be over. This is certainly a tribute to those who have lost their lives and your voice illustrates the sadness of the moment. A great write!

Your pride and sorrow drape these words as the American Flag drapes our lost. Hold your high after the tears my friend. You are all appreciated. A beautifully penned piece William.

Oh brother, you too felt the pain as you are bracing yourself for more to come as the politicians shrug their shoulders saying that "that's the way of the soldier"
This poem should be placed on a black stone at the top of Congree main stairs so they can remember before sending one more of our young brothers to harms way.
Semper Fi

You bring it all home with this excellent 4th of July tribute, William. Without their sacrifices, we would not know or live in freedom. Freedom is the most expensive thing any of us will ever know and it is never more than a generation away from extinction.
Take care,
Sherry

In todays parade in Temple Terrace Florida, pictures of the lost sons dressed down the trucks and floats. It was a different approach to family loss that moved me. We don't realize loss when we read it so often in the papers but seeing the pained faces of family members put me there in their hearts.
Thank you!
