It's not a reason for parties or the three day week-ends. THINK about it.

Poem Artwork

Trans Siberian Railroad
My dad did guard it
Got our boys home
Moscow to Vladivostok

My oldest brother on a ship
Turned those damn ships around
Guantanamo
We did it oh yeah

Brothers and husband in Nam
What a waste of our men
Treated badly when they came home
Sad story

To those who gave their lives
Are the ones we remember
Some think it's a reason for
Long week-ends and beer

"Happy Memorial Day"????
Let's keep it solemn
Remember the fallen
Cherish your freedom


Jane Noponen Perinacci

Written from the heart and from those you remember and love. While I grieve for forgotten veterans, more and more, I want to forget war because there's nothing glorious about it.

Leave it to you, Jane, to put the real meaning in the day set aside to honor those who gave the ultimate to keep America safe. Agree about 'Nam. Thank you for this.
