Their noble deeds will keep soaring with deep appreciation. A lament to those who can not share the fruits of their victory. A lovely read, HGarvey and thank you for your commenting my cinquiain poem. (^_^) Noel.

He is a hero to all of us, even though his memories are filled with images of war. Thank you for sharing this terrific tribute to our armed forces -- the men and women who dedicate their lives to keeping us safe and free. Love you, Carolyn
