Unlearned Lesson
Memorial Day
Of every year
The little valiant
Flags appear
On every fallen
Soldier's grave--
Symbol of what
Each died to save.
And we who see
And still have breath--
Are we no wiser
For their death?

Be-lated Memorial Day Tribute
As ecstatic as I am that my "baby" brothers returned from Iraq... on Memorial Day actually, I am going to add a little plug on my blog for all the brothers, fathers, sisters, mothers, aunts, uncles, etc who are on active duty. Don't forget them in your prayers....
