Poetry Friday is with Julie at The Drift Record, Thanks, Julie.
Allan Barger, WWII reading Veteran Day cards last November. He passed away in February 2016.
I just felt it appropriate to take a minute to remember those who served in the armed forces and in particular, my friend, Shirley‘s dad.

A fitting tribute!
Beautiful, Jone. I have a number of veterans in my family, many gone now, but I remember, and am grateful for what they gave us.
I love seeing these tributes to our veterans from young poets. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful. I like that these kids put so much thought into their tributes.
Jone, as Robert says, “A veteran is a man that will not go down in vain.” We need to be more mindful of the great service all of our veterans provided for our country. Thanks for your Spring’s Seeds Gallery offering.
