on Veterans' Day

On Veterans' Day, remembering my father who fought in Italy during WWII, winning a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, and for all the other veterans of all those other wars, and for the men and women who now risk their lives every day in wars around the globe. Whether we agree with the reasons behind these wars or not, we must respect those who are brave and obedient enough to serve, while we wait at home praying for their safe return. In their honor, my poem "Terrorism: Call & Response" posted on The New Verse News, a great poetry site no matter your political leanings. www.newversenews.com
