Beautiful, just beautiful. Once again you have brought tears to my eyes.

Your poem takes me back many years to when I visited Arlington and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A sobering experience. Then I think of Normandy (which I have not visited) and then the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, the "Punch Bowl". Thousands and thousands of crosses. Thousands and thousands of heroes.

Thank you, Fish Hawk, for bringing another of your wonderful poems here....(and for remembering to ping me to it).

Yesterday I received the coolest E mail. It was this very picture and it said: " Let the ACLU try to remove the crosses from THIS federal propery!!!! I never thought of it but all these veteran memorial cemetaries are Federal Land. Aloha
