Just today I was speaking to another member here at Author's Den who lost his son in Iraq. So many die...so many aren't even given the defenses that is due them in the first place. Some purchase their own bullet proof vests and even pay for armour for their vehicles. War certainly has changed and America sure hasn't provided the defense it once did for our forces. This is a great disappointment to me and I'm not on the frontlines.
Your poem here is a sad tribute to a loss of priceless proportions.
The fate of our sons, daughters, fathers, mothers etc...should be the number one priority of our leaders...our president. Since Viet Nam...nothing has changed when itcomes to the void a loss leaves when war claims another American. It's time to think about why the word "priceless" means more to the families who've grieved (grieve) than it does to our own Congress and President.
That's a long time ago Ron, yet the memory lingers on! Nam was a terrible war for those who had to fight it.It left scars on all of us for various reasons. It looks like we never learn doesn't it?
