Thank you.
country cemetery presentation of the flag to his mother
Both great Veteran's Day thoughts. A world of emotion expressed in few words!
despite the fine gestures it's still the law of the jungle
Veterans Day— throughout the churchyard new flags on old graves so many now remembered only as soldiers
(Red Lights Jan. 2012)
BTW great haiku, Kelly.
Thanks, everyone!!
Wonderful ku!
L3 makes me see the irony of weapons bringing soldiers down, yet we salute them with gunfire…I guess I'm a pacifist at heart! :]
