Independence Day 2011 (poem) by Gene Williamson on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on August 4, 2011

Gene, another poem I have somehow missed. This work of yours overwhelms me with pride and deep appreciation. Pride in the United States of America. Deep appreciation for every uniformed man and woman that has ever stood in harms way or supported those that stood in harms to preserve our republic. I can vividly see men and women with chests swollen with pride marching in Independence Day parades across the nation, generation after generation. I bid you love and peace my dear friend.

Very powerful in depth and effect, Gene. This moves me to compassion, deep respect and honor for all those veterans, including my own father and grandfather and you.

We all may disagree with our government from time to time, but one thing is clear we are all proud to be Americans.
