Congratulations on your victory, Bill!
Having experienced the horrors and gung ho spirit of our fighters in the Viet Nam war, your poem convincingly expressed what you felt and witnessed, with unique authenticity.
(Thank you for your dedication!)
I'm out of sixers.

Comment from Jeffrey Ford
I think that you wrote a beautiful poem. I can't imagine how difficult and terrifying the Vietnam War was. The poem is a great tribute to Cathy and the bravery you showed of surviving the war. Thank you for sharing this poem!

Your rhyming poem flows and rhymes well with an interesting message about war and country, love, and family. It is well-written and well-received. It reads like a chapter out of a book. Like Farewell to Arms. Your artwork choice is powerful and it enhances your message. Best wishes!

Greetings, Amanda!
With only words of high praise, why only 4 stars? Comments for improvement, okay? Thanks for reviewing and God Bless. Respectfully, Bill.
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
It is right to remind us of that horrible war and what the conditions were that the men and women, fighting, had to endure. I could never fathom the tortuous conditions that these soldiers were sent to face. It was a monstrous war! Many questions still unanswered.

Comment from judiverse
Beautiful work, commando, and it got my vote in the contest. You really express the feelings of this soldier. Your use of sounds adds color and sense of urgency. The narrator has to focus on the battle as well as his thoughts of wife and child. Great stanza encouraging the men to give their all and the will win. Excellent rhyme in this, including your use of internal rhyme like "side by side with tons of pride." Although the war wasn't popular back home, the soldiers did their best and deserved to be honored. judi

Excellent. It gave me a real feeling of war raging, and the emotional thoughts that go through a soldiers mind. We owe a debt to all who fought in all the wars throughout our history...in defense of our country.
