Our National Strength

The brave and the free,
Lain to rest for liberty.
Honor forgotten.
Souls sacrificed, protecting.
Sovereignty wrought with valor.

What a spectacular last line, Dane. I felt the national pride in this poem. Congratulations on your win in the Bald Eagle in the Cemetery contest! I judged blindly and there were many great entries, so you should feel proud. Love, Carolyn
