These poems brought tears to my eyes. I, of course, am remembering the veterans in my family long gone. My Dad and his 5 brothers all joined up for WW2. Only one came home damaged & with a purple heart. My mother had also felt a patriotic calling and joined the Army. Both in their uniforms, they met at a Texas military base, now closed. They both believed in the promise of our Constitution but knew the reality fell way short. My father read the Constitution every July 4th until his death.
Wonderful poems! So grateful to the talented poets who took the time to write and share this poetry. And thanks, Garrison, for giving us all an opportunity to share through poetry. Love it. 💞
Thank you, poets all. Your work is inspiring.
There are lot of good, talented people out there. Those of us without such talent have a lot to be thankful for.
Thank you!
