What a great debt we owe to those who gave for the cause of freedom. Today too many people think freedom means everyone else should hand them a living.
I love your poem and I also enjoy everything you write about England during the war. It seems so overpoweringly real.
What a great way to honor Veteran's day. Love your work!

ReplyDeleteNicely said; but don't forget those who died in the sand, at sea, and in the air.
ReplyDeleteThanks Altonian, I will do that when the next prompt on Nov 11th is Sand, Sea or Air. It could also be on May 8th!
