Free Lifetime Premium Membership

I should be entitled to a free Lifetime Premium Membership according to my wife and friends around me. My father CPO Arthur Frederick Horn was killed on active duty on the Carrier Intrepid after 20 years of service. He could have retired. I, myself, am a retired veteran whose Poetry Soup total just exceeded 800 full length poems. My poem was Poem of the Day on August 16th and two of your other poems had received honorable mentions and one a first place. I am supposed to be making the other person think this is their very own idea. Not only that, I am writing this in a free verse format so I will receive a free membership. This is a great idea you have there. I had to re-write, re-design and straighten the whole poem out. Oh, also my grandfather Jacob Horn was a Spanish American War veteran and six family members of my mother's were in the Civil War. One was killed at Gettysburg. Another person on my mother's side was a surveyor and on the staff of George Washington. Don't you think that I should be entitled to something? James Thomas Horn USAF 13735656 Retired Veteran PS. One day you won't be able to find any of those numbers anymore. They are all being replaced with Social Security Numbers.

Wow...what a rich history of service to country you have, James. That is dedication for you. Has your request fallen on deaf ears? Sorry to hear that. I would love a premium lifetime membership as well. The Premium Membership I have now was gifted to me by a dear friend. Here's hoping. :) Thanks for your visits.

I really don't think that they will be swayed by that. They'd probably argue back that many have done honorable things for humanity and should they award everyone membership on that basis...they'd run out of business. I waited a year almost for my Premium Membership. Every time I thought I'd pay those 40 dollars something came up to make me use the money for something else...The membership was a gift by a fellow poet. I think that is the only way your wish will come true. All the best.

Have heard that others have received the same just like you did. Oh, well. What I need you to do is copy and email this to PoetrySoup and maybe they just might get the hint. Jim Horn
