Only Half a Memorial Day 2017
Politicians laud praise and beam
About our heroes’ gift extreme
Oh-so-young they died!!
But the dream they’ve denied
Is no more war as this day's theme
Author's Note: I heard a lot of homage, but nothing that makes me believe that the significance of the sacrifice is understood by our leaders and many former soldiers who were interviewed. There is little hope for us if we haven't learned by now.
