"I wish to have no Connection with any Ship that does not Sail fast for I intend to go in harm's way."

Captain John Paul Jones, 16 November 1778, in a letter to le Ray de Chaumont.
[Morison, Samuel Eliot. John Paul Jones: A Sailor's Biography. (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1959): 182.]

mountains, fields, forest

                             stand witness to the blood cries

                                            the song of freedom

A poignant Veteran Day poem. Sometimes it is only the mountains, fields, forest left. The only witnesses remaining once the blood cries no longer speak.
