Memorial Day Tribute

Blog Posted:5/19/2025 6:28:00 PM

I would like to thank everyone who participated in my contest. I know the rankings are 1 through 3 but the poems were all written so well with poignancy and feeling. It was difficult and no matter wher your poem is ranked, just know it was a tough decision. Perhaps I could have assigned everyone a #1.

Oliver
