remember me

the willing patriot

the anxious zealot

the reluctant volunteer

the fearful draftee

who believed

that the good of my country and freedom

would set my survival in stone


remember me

the frightened soldier

the homesick lover

the lonely hero

trapped on foreign soil

who braved the horrors of war

risked my life to win

and never made it home.

Pierre,
May God be with all the families of the soldiers who never made it home. An outstanding poem and makes the reader think.

Blessings,

I remember you. You were my love and then you went to Viet Nam as a helicopter pilot. I loved you complete. You never came back.
I remember you.
Yes! I do remember you.
Love,
Susan

How heartbreaking the poem is. But, it was beautifully written.
