On this Memorial Day, 2011, and every day,
Please know that you are being thought of.
WE MISS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU and keep you until the day we can celebrate face to face.
Let us all take a moment today between our trips to the beach and the barbeque’s, and parades, and remember the sacrifice of our soldiers; those that are currently serving and those that have given the ultimate sacrifice, for us to be free.
Thank you, we miss you and are praying for your save return!

Hello Elizabeth,
I periodically Google to see where my poem has ended up, and am always grateful that someone has been interested in it enough to post it, and that people find those words close to their heart. I am forever grateful for the (continued) sacrifices of our beloved soldiers (and their families).
Sincerely,
Brooke O'Neill Emery
