All the Presidents men.

Row upon row of white crosses stand.

Each one a sad but proud reminder of a countries will.

Names are also chiselled on granite blocks

so no one has an excuse to forget.

But the love of ones country and the loss of ones family

can test your resolve.

Especially when you have lost the most.



Whether you are country or family,

it is sometimes hard to salute.

Hard to acknowledge

even harder to accept

that right can be wrong.

Amen.
