As a country, we observe Memorial Day by honoring those who have served their country and sacrificed so much. My father was only 22 as a young soldier in World War II, and on the anniversary of his death a decade ago, I wrote a Memorial Day poem in his honor.
Deborah LevineFor those who put themselves in harm’s way for their families, friends and country,
For those whose lives were taken in war-torn lands far from home
And for all those who carry the wounds of war proudly and with honor,
Let us say a prayer of thanks and remembrance of courage and of valor.
