You can hear me read two of my poems in remembrance of Memorial Day on Apple Podcasts by clicking HERE.
Please take a moment this Memorial Day to remember our fallen. They served with honor and served as bulwarks against tyranny in two world wars. They served and died in just wars and unwise ones in service of our country. They paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy. And so did their families. Please remember them and say a prayer for them if so inclined, or a silent “thank you” for their service and their sacrifice. May God bless them all.
