John, thank you for your great tribute to Veterans. Though it may be seen by some as being presumptuous on my part, I posted a list of poems I have written over the years in the hopes that they will be read by many and seen for what they were intended. I sent the list in deep humility and not in pride. Veterans are the reason we enjoy our freedom.

As a retired veteran whose father died in an accident on top of the Aircraft Carrier Intrepid, I truly appreciate your poem.
