All faiths, nationalities, ages, genders and even many not considered able-bodied have given hearts, souls and lives to serve for us ~ each of us ~ past and present. Is there one who cannot name a veteran loved and lost, family or friend? As you celebrate today, or shop the usual sales and events, or attend a parade ~ take time to say a quiet prayer, to say thank you, to remember. And tomorrow do the same ~ for sadly it continues. And please also remember the thirteen young soldiers who most recently gave their lives in the foolish and unnecessary Iran War started by and continued by a craven and irresponsible man-child ego driven president and his go along get along administration and congress.
I love this poem, thanks for sharing. Take care, have a great day and a happy week ahead!
