A true great honor walking upright no way a fawner alert and bright under the spotlight a bestowed pride relish the limelight not cringe or hide parade avenues take in the thrill happiness renews shrimps on the grill highlights of glory those who are brave enables story they're all they gave but truly noted be they known stoics can they be gloated of their heroics can we ever know love like agape no one that they show nor do they say war wounded they save but can be said they pray by that grave The Unknown Dead.

Many thanks, Anne-Lise. I titled it as I had found it to be a hard one to write about. It's like telling the blind; as you can plainly see. Aloha, William
