Memorial Day Comments

Semper fi to all the marines. Great tribute to a brother who served. Sad and hard to understand fate. But he died as a Marine. So he is next to God. Oorah!

full of patriotism...a salute to the brave men

This is such a sad but so very beautiful poem. You so lovingly describe this young soldier that it is so easy to visualize him and his love for life. Although he has been gone for many years now you have in a sense brought him back to life for others to catch a glimpse of a remarkable young man who obviously made such a wonderful impression on you. A well written memorial poem for one who left such a big impression on the poet's life.
