This is an excellent commentary to all those who have laid down their lives so that we can remain safely at home. I particularly liked the beginning:
To those who lost their lives on foreign land,
And those whose life's blood drained into the sea,

This is a wonderful memorial poem for Memorial Day weekend which will be here in just four short weeks. My favorite lines are:
To those who lost their lives on foreign land,
And those whose life's blood drained into the sea,
Or took their last breath holding mother's hand,
And sacrificed it all for you and me.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sharon Davis
A wonderful tribute to the military, in their memory. The poem acknowledges the many lives list, the many situations in which death occurred, and the many thanks we owe those who serve, past or present. Well said.
