At the time I didn't realize the full significance of it, it still touches me deeply when I read it. I have been going through my recently deceased mother's home, truly a labor of love and memories. I found my father's World War II uniform and his father's World War I uniform perfectly perserved. I'm proud of both of these wonderful men - thanks for posting this wonderful poem. Memorial Day has lost some of it's meaning. We need reminders that it is not just a 3 day weekend, a chance to fire up the grill or to hit the big sales at the mall. It is a sacred day to honor those who gave everything that we might continue to enjoy our freedoms!<br />Happy Memorial Day!<br />GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456138083750289030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-25396775736929090382009-05-23T15:26:06.802-07:002009-05-23T15:26:06.802-07:00I can make myself cry by reading it out loud.I can make myself cry by reading it out loud.Marsha Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389060049107102815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-12491822524928581652009-05-23T15:23:59.910-07:002009-05-23T15:23:59.910-07:00That poem is one of my favorites.
