Thank you for your review.
And thanks for appreciating my dad?s service.
Comment from LateBloomer
Hello author, your poem is very timely. The bravery, loyalty, and love of country that you dad felt is from a generation that no longer exists. Your poem reads and flows well, and I could feel the love that you have for your father. Of special note:
But always said freedom was well worth the price.
(Sadly, I don't know if the young men and women of today feel the same way. They don't even want to pledge our Flag.
They are a generation that your father would/could never understand...and neither do I.)
A beautiful tribute and poem from the heart. Well chosen artwork choice. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Thank you for your review. I agree that my dad would probably not understand some of the views of young people today. It?s sad that patriotism seems to be lacking.
