Veterans Day

The flag flew above
That covered the angles below

Then the strips whithered 
And the stars dimmed

Leaving empty coffins below

We should never forget the sacrifices our brave servicemen and women make on our behalf. Tom. Welcome back Bobby, I hope you are keeping well.

That's a very sad write for your first one back, Bobby. You've been missed.
