The Nilands of Tonawanda

Siblings fight for peace
unknown horrors they now face
theatres of war
fallen, in recognition 
we must save the surviving 







"Saving Private Ryan"

Your poem is powerful an extaordinarily well written, James. Although the movie was too gory for my taste, I am glad that efforts are made to bring our soldiers home. There's a candidate for president who spent 8 years captive in Vietnam. When he landed in the states, his first words were, "Thank you for bringing me home." I hate to think of how many POWs have suffered in the past. Excellent poem, James. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
