Before My Memory Goes

When we talk of wars
I remember each one of these:
Bob and Charlie and Bill
Sam and Lindsey and Carl
Ray and Harry and Tony
Harvey and Jerry and Tim
Sandy and Roy and Larry
Hernandez and Buck and Joe
Conrad and Milton and Ron
Rick and Marvin and Herm
Don and Jack and Wayne
and whatzhisname who was
broke a lot but borrowed
his way to friendship
They were friends and men
whose lives were taken by
the then vicious enemies of
The United States of America
I honor and salute each one


2007 F William Broome

Wow! You know many are eager to write a tribute, honor, and remember, but your write puts much into perspective, brings a touch of reality to the reader. It's like when you visit the wall with all the soldiers names inscribed, you see a name and try to envision a face to go with that name...your write presents the same affect, lingers on one's mind and heart. Very touching my friend, you've hit a homerun with this one...bravo!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

Right! soldier, give us their names so we come more near them and don't need to shout to say thank you.
And what's is name could be Joe, we had quite a few of them.
My respects to all with a name here and their buddies.

As my cousin once told me 'I will never forget them, even those whose names I never knew'...I too will remember them with you.
