Comment from AP Apgar
What an excellent poem and picture presentation supporting - history repeating itself - 1962 - I was in the Navy stationed in Key West - as close as we've ever come to a nuclear war - can only imagine the outcome if Biden would have been in Kennedy s position - not a stretch to believe that he would have hidden in his basement and let America fend for itself - (Afghanistan) Kennedy of today - predict we will never know - the day of the presidential dynasty's has past - the choice now is clear - Marxism or a Democratic Republic - Iran, China and Russia have five months to rain terror destruction on the world -while Biden wanders in a daze - too weak an incoherent to act. Commander and Chief?
Your poems points to your and my concern for our future - Well said - God bless- And God Bless America. AP

Thank you for your service AP. I was 12 at the time and didn't see much of a future. I'm older now and would like to see a future for my grandkids. Yet, Russia came in support of its presidential buddy and to put pressure on Biden and the American people. There isn't any support from the Houses to much red tape. They're afraid to speak cause they are weak and that will cause us our freedom. Meanwhile, Russia and the rest of the war Mongolian Empire will divide our armed forces making us weaker. Whatever we do it has to be together as a nation of one not divided for then we fall. I've been in war and it's not pretty. But if I'm to die I rather die FREE! Better yet, I pray Our Father comes for us.

Thank you- it was an honor to serve- what war were you involved in??? My wife is from Ukraine/ Russia- stories are heartbreaking ! We both agree with you - rather die free - Bless You. AP

A Brother- Thank you for your service!! I joined the Navy in ?61 - Down in Key West - Advanced Underseas Weapons Shool/ then to the fleet - on a tin can USS NOA-
Three years - Back in 61 Nam - sill pretty much unknown- towards the end of my enlistment they offered a years shore duty anywhere in the world for a year if we would do a year in Vietnam- we all volunteered- thinking we would do a year in Sweden afterwards- hot babes haha - fortunately as it turned out - none of us were selected due to the overwhelming response- lol- Finished my tour and got out-
Glad you made it out !!
Take care / Happy Father?s Day ! Bless - AP

Thanks for pointing out my typos, Helen. :) I saw the news and wrote. Though I was going to use the coming of Jesus I didn't because only the Father knows.
Comment from patcelaw
We are living in a very dangerous world at this time and you writing this poinsettia very well. I wish you the very best with all of your writing. You might go in and take the red background off of your words so that the text shows up and it's able to be read aloud and be read by the eyes. Patricia .

Thank you, Patricia. I tried to get the red out, but I wouldn't let me.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Robert Kenney - correct spelling should be Robert Kennedy Jr.
My favorite line: Too many voices, not enough balls.
World War III (you have written World War one hundred eleven).
The red background was a little disconcerting at first, but I understand that you want the red for Russia.
I like your last sentence; "the whole world's watching" was the slogan repeated by the press during these negotiations.
I hope for the best in Ukraine, but I fear it will eventually fall to Russia.

Thank you, Pam, for showing me my typos. Is R.K Senior still alive? If not there is no junior. I know you are correct in W.W.III but it would be better W.W.111 for one hundred and eleven should be the last one. :) so I put 3.

Senator Kennedy was assassinated many years ago. I didn't know that about the junior/senior thing.
