May there forever be a sense of patriotism in the USA.
The Gray Silhouette
It’s early light.
The blinds are drawn,
but try as they may,
they’re unable to hold back
the cheerful sunbeams.
A gray silhouette of Old Glory
wafts in the gentle breeze
against the gleaming window
of my favorite room.
Then, once again
patriotism overflows,
and my head bows
in a moment of reverence
to my beloved USA.
This book explores how U.S. presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy failed to stand up to Soviet aggression during the early Cold War—despite America's overwhelming nuclear advantage.
