A glowing tribute to soldiers martyred for the protection of the dignity of their motherland. Heartiest Congrats on the poem of the Day.

very sad tribute to the service people who lost their lives serving their countr

Very respectful poem with much writing talent on display. Thank you!

So efficiently transforms from the bravery of the soldier to the futility of his death. As long as there are those who believe that force can be used to subjugate others, there will be a need for brave men and women to rise in defense of those who cannot defend themselves. Let us always be diligent that our strength is used for the good of our brothers and sisters with whom we share this planet.

A great poem portraying the tragedy of war and lives unnecessarily lost.

Wonderful poem, all wars are tragedy's of humanity's failings

They rest their bones and breathe no more. That's the result of war for a good many...
