Our Armed Forces

Our Armed Forces Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines May things to me each one means Ending a war which we all abhor Floating on some ship near a shore. For their country many have died Sailing home on an ocean so wide Flying through air providing support Landing on runway seeming short. Men and women with their families Started to say in prayers, God please Forgive those dead and take their souls; Still see their faces in burning coals. James Serious Mysterious Horn Retired Veteran and Poet Viola Davis was incredible calling Sidney Poitier, "Captain, My Captain." Hidden Figures is also truly amazing.
