The Veteran
There have been times in our land
When our nation has had to take a stand.
It first began at Bunker's Hill
Where so many men were then killed.
All through that war with the British King
Men here in...

Within reach of the beach,
The mountain towers as I shrink
Into guts of hate,—malignant:
With a rifle and bayonet, and grenades
And murdering hands
To choke the existence
Out of living things.
They all looked the same...

To Our Latest Fallen Heroes
The day dawned bright and clear,
Crystal drops shimmer on the still air,
An eagle glides on silent wings,

The Silent Legion
Tucked into closets both near and away,
Amidst cedar planks, now alee of the fray,
Rest class A’s once borne on frames
Straight and young.
A legion of aging uniforms hold fast
Fading ribbons of campaigns past,
Honoring selfless...

with a Christmas display
of flashing, colorful...

As men marched to the cadence of drums and dulcet flutes.
Soldiers have worn them to slog through sand, surf and mud.

Considering the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge,
Through steaming jungles farthest reaches
