I'm enjoying reading your poetry today. Let me know what you think of Crossroads. June Ellen or Ellen is what most people call me. My mother was June and named me June Ellen.

Their noble deeds will keep soaring with deep appreciation. A lament to those who can not share the fruits of their victory. A lovely read, HGarvey and thank you for your commenting my cinquiain poem. (^_^) Noel.

He is a hero to all of us, even though his memories are filled with images of war. Thank you for sharing this terrific tribute to our armed forces -- the men and women who dedicate their lives to keeping us safe and free. Love you, Carolyn
