11/10/2023 I have never had to give up my home,my town, my family in any war. That was done for me, by willing, brave heroes, who have gone afar! Courageous women and men, who loved mankind. They left pets, beloved family and homes behind!. They knew that America had to protect a flag of red, white and blue. No matter what country, you are now in, they died for you and your country, too! Herr Hitler might have become the ruler of all free countries as well. Heroes were buried in your country, so peaceful now, in green fields with Sunday bells. Heroes such as these are why religion and speech are so marvelously free. Don’t let a single person nor power group, rob thee of these. Enemies start worldwide, with controls, they rule..don’t need guns! Allowing lies, murder and a brave, crooked world to have its evil ryn. So don’t let military service and young deaths disappear in vain. They lie in simple, quiet graves, in moonlit cemeteries, in the crying rain..

Dear Pangie, you're right, courageous women and men have served for all of us. This is such a beautiful dedication to all of them. So many are serving now. So thankful, indeed. Freedom isn't free, as the saying goes and that is so true. Your thoughts are tender and emotional, all at the same time. Congratulations my sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you. Hugs, Brandy

Dearest Brandy! It is always a blessing to see you after so many years, here! You are ta poetess of the highest integrity, you know I admire you so much. A helicopter crashed today, it hurt my heart…all those stalwart men gone? I The remains of Americans spreads worldwide. Allies, we must support, be loyal to and not love the enemy in our midst who want us dead, our enemies are formidable. I do write from my heart and this was a gift to be chosen for the POTD. A significant topic for our past and present heroes..we must not support the hatred in the streets now …it’s overwhelming! Merci, Brandy! Pangie xxxx

I was thinking of you today. The people were not heros on London Bridge today nor were they all over the USA either. We all deserve the right to not be harmed because of our beliefs. The Middle Ages is over.. and we all lost brave people-in wars..But Hitler had to be stopped. Armies are there to protect us. This was the perfect day to honor those ever so deserving. I was pleased this humble work touched warn hearts. Pangie xxxx with gratitude.

Hello Susan, how fortunate we both were, to live in a country that allowed us. To live long anf free, now it’s up to us to be sure we elect people coming up who will not allow us or any of our Allies to be slaughtered. We have powerful enemies wanting to do us in. Some, hate our religions and want us wiped off the planet. May God care for us. Pangiexx

We salute them with all pride. A hero Marine Veteran highly decorated, (5) tours of duty in the middle east, talked yesterday on NPR when in battle he thought about the commandment thou shall not kill, and always felt uncomfortable when he realized now it was his duty & mission, now he felt the contradiction involved. PTSD indused.

Huge Congratulations on your receiving honour of POTD, Dear Poetess Pangie. This is such a wonderful tribute to the veterans who sacrificed their life to protect freedom for all. Excellent piece of Poetry with deep meaning! Love and Hugs ~ Mala

Date: 11/11/2023 8:49:00 AM

Good Day, Malabika! You humble me with your extraordinary comments. No tribute should go to me, but to those who served, some came back. Many bodies were never found, many died at sea. When enemies invade a country, when a country is told to not fight back..then every, man woman and child are at risk of death, to ask an invaded country with thousands dead is insane. Each government must act. And their existence is at stake. Bless you, Pangie xx
