This poem besides being well written and rhymed is told from your heart! These is no better to write an honor to our soldiers other then from the heart.
It becomes not words on a paper, but one's heart and soul.
Thank you gif honoring these four in particular and every other soldier who's served.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent poem about your family soldiers sacrifice in all the wars. I'm sorry for your loss. Veterans are not treated as they deserve. I will say thank you if I see one.
The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.
the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

You did an AWESOME job with your contest entry,
Mystery Author. Regardless of contest, this is an
exceptional poem which highlights some of the
wars the US has been involved in. Many poems are
all inclusive of every military men and women. However
to add names of some of those individuals made it even
more special, though poignant. Those names 'brought
it home' made it real and showed true sacrifice. Each military
individual is/was a hero. A hero is an ordinary person
who acts in an extraordinary way as did each of your family
members. Great presentation in rhymes, flow, image, and
imagery.
A SALUTE!
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Hi
This is a well written ode to all your brave family members. I thank them for their service. Sorry for your loss. We should have more days to honor them in our calendar.
There are several places where you need to add spaces between words.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy your weekend,
Joan

Oh no, and it looks perfect on my end. Can you tell me a couple of them?

Hey, It must have been a glitch on my side. I just went in to find them again, and the spacing is perfect.

Comment from Andrea Kepple
I love how you arranged the poem to go from one generation to the next. You covered 100 years of serving in the military covering four generations of people serving in the US military. I also love how you were able to highlight some service which doesn't get written about a lot (chaplain and medic).

Comment from MissMerri
This is a great tribute to family members who were brave enough to fight for their country. You have every reason to be exceedingly proud. I loved how you made each one a real person in your storytelling, so that the reader could easily share your personal connection to each of them. I found your relaxed, story-telling tone most enjoyable and the rhymes and meter only added to my pleasure. Great job. I think this should do well in the contest. MM

Hi Adonna. I thank you for this awesome review and comments for my war poem. You gave me a big smile! You are so appreciated my friend.
Comment from Terry Broxson
Your poem captures a legacy of service to our country and its cause for freedom by your family and loved ones. Your dad's service reminds me of my father's efforts, both as a son of a widow. Your boyfriend's story sort of stopped the poem for a moment. Well done. Terry.

I thank you for this awesome review and comments for this poem. I love that you could relate to that one part about my dad and someday I'd love to compare notes .
Thanks again my friend.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
And so you have a right to be proud of these brave men who served their country with distinction and honor. While we honor them with two holidays a year, we should honor them the other 363 days a year.
Very well written, showing the sacrifice of these men.
Best wishes,
Mary
