Who will join me? Easiest branch of service you'll ever enlist in. No war. No weapons. One benefit: remembering those who've served.


Poem Artwork

How far have we progressed
in overlooking the past?  As
we slogged through the years,

more than memory stuck to
the bottom of our boots:  the
blood of those who answered

the high cost of freedom without
a question cries out to be heard,
not just on certain days when

tradition demands it, but every
day.  With every step I take
into my future, I will remember

and not forget.  Your cry rings
loud in my ears:  you did not die
in vain.  I will make sure of that.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (7/2)

All the Veterans should converge on Washington, without shouts, without signs, just holding an Old Glory and singing again and again "The Hymn of the Battle for the Republic" until all the Nation joins in and chase away all the politician pharisees.

Where's freedom in a criminal society? We have reports of murders, etc. EVERY NIGHT on our local news (Albuquerque).

This pours compassion and passion from the words... and a great reminder to us all that they are, each one, amazing for what they do that so many of us never could.

The poetic structure you use, Karla, seems perfect for this... truncated, like the missions, yet, collected, like the comraderie. This is just great!
