As a veteran this is a good poem to recognize us. The font size is great. The message of honor and gratitude is clearly stated.
The brown is so dark the red and blue text does not show up as well as it could. To make your vertical word stand out I would make each beginning letter of each line white.
I would also make the poem box larger. Drop the first line down one space and go to the last word of the poem and hit enter twice and your poem box would be larger. Your visual is perfect. Good luck in the contest if it is not over.

Well done on your Acrostic Thank a veteran for Veteran/Remembrance Day. You're right, no matter male/female they fought, they fight for all of us. Very apt topic choice, and well said.
cheers

I am glad I was able to read this on Veterans Day. Thank you for your service to all. Our children should be taught the cost of freedom and respect for our flag. Thank you for sharing.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I think you have done a fine job of your acrostic poem, and recognizing veterans as Remembrance Day is nigh makes your theme timely.

Your presentation of the red, white and blue is apt to express those men and women who serve and sometimes lose it all for their country.

Wishing you great luck in the contest.

Gloria

Hello Author,
I liked this Rhyming Acrostic very much. It had a nice pattern to follow in each stanza. I loved that you used the red, white, and blue to separate them too. The image you used was true to everyone as well.
Nice job! Good luck in the contest!
Susan :)

When a young man becomes a soldier, undergoes basic training and allows the military way of doing things to become a part of his everyday routine. It leaves an indelible mark upon him. People with perception can look at the way he stands, the way he walks, the respect in his manner when talking to those he has respect for. It stands out like a badge, or an aura that is discernible. I was honorably discharged in 1964, and people will ask me after all this time, If I were ever in the military? I will of course answer in the affirmative

    Roger that my friend, I too served from1968 to 1974. My wife always always points out I stand "like I am standing at ease" with my hands interlocked behind my back. I?m don?t eve realize I am doing so? I still get tears whenever I hear taps played.

    They do such a good job on those of us who survive the training that we never forget or lose it. I do believe that the training could save our lives in an emergency which is the whole point.
