That's a lot of families still waiting, praying and hoping! Thank you for this powerful write, Lisa and for the reminder that we must never stop the search until each soldier is accounted for.
Take care,
Sherry
Bravo and well done! You have given that voice to the MIA's not only of the VIetnam war but all the past and future wars to come. Your heart and dedication to these soldiers who gave their all is commendable and the reader knows it is a part of your very soul.
Yes Lisa, we must not forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country and the freedom and liberation of other countries from tyrannical power and despotism.
We may never recover their bodies, to give them a decent , Christian burial, but their undying sacrifice and memory lives on in the hearts and souls of those, who have profited by their heroic deeds, and have been made more secure and safe, as a result of their glorious actions
This is a truly poignant and moving piece
Thanks for this timeous reminder Lisa

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
