In Memoriam

 Punam hosts Monday Quadrille in the dVerse Poets Pub ~ the challenge word is "Bang"




bang the drum slowly let echoes resound

for hearts that are buried in hallowed ground

brave souls who have fallen their courage untamed

in whispers of freedom their legacy’s framed

we honor their sacrifice steadfast and true

honor the flag red, white and blue

    Dearest Helen,
    In memoriam for all those heroes who deserve to be remembered!
    Pieter and I always felt SO GRATEFUL for being liberated in WWII by such brave souls! Heartbreaking to see those soldiers resting in a foreign continent on foreign soil where they shed their blood!!!
    Had my Catholic Last Rites done on Tuesday, December 3, on my 31st Birthday as a proud American Citizen. Ready to go HOME! Grateful for so many things...
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    I understand the message, still I wonder sometimes what they died for (often they didn't know themselves)
