A very good poem for the Veterans day.Three small lines but you convey a lot. Every free person living today should thank those gave their all for the sake of the country and freedom

    Amen sister. the vets have gotten a raw deal as long as the USA has existed. Washington's army never got paid.

    Thanks for the read and comment

An excellent play on words, I think there have been a number of scams using names on tombstones. A really good senryu, huge cemetery, well done, blessings, Roy

American veterans should always be remembered.

There is an old saying that rings so true for veterans: "All gave some. Some gave all."

As a proud US veteran pieces like this possess a meaning many who are who are not veterans can not truly understand.

Nice. Joy Graham and myself (independently) have recently completed a series of poems on a daily basis in the run up to Remembrance Day on Nov 11. An emotional journey. DJ

400,000 in Arlington?! Thank is a lot of war dead in one place. Your senryu is strong with

"Democracy rocks
Support it with gusto
400,000 in Arlington."

Because of the sacrifices of men and women in the Armed Forces for democracy, we should support it and them.

Thank you for sharing and for remembering on this Veterans Day.

A well -written poem. Your artwork completed the piece well. Your well-chosen words flowed well combining nicely and forming the message of the poem for the reader.
