Here’s a peek into the brotherhood our warriors share with one another; how much they love and depend on one another.
~Bittersweet.

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
(For Staff Sargent Donald Neal Davis. Killed in Iraq in August of 2004.)
I had been having dreams.
I was sitting with my good friend. His gravestone had flowers from his daughter Megan.
I’m drinking his Miller beer and I told him. His daughter is getting marry.
My friend would like the private graveyard for soldiers.
Small towns take care of their hero’s lost to war.
There are wildflowers in the distance.
He would like this place.
The wildflowers are growing wild and free.
My good friend was a country boy who loved to hunt and his two beautiful girls.
Soldiers must go to war. Some soldiers don’t come home.
I can hear my good friend…

Here’s a memorial to a fallen Soldier that I found in the same magazine, Confederate Veteran 1893. I love the way they spoke back then and their choice of words…not ones we use today to describe what they do here.

Take a look at how this was viewed and handled in our country in 1893 and may we follow suit. Our warriors (ALL of them) deserve the same as these gentlemen. I think you’ll enjoy this, I sure did!
The general public, interested in such matters,
knows how zealously and successfully our people in
Georgia worked to secure a Home in the vicinity of
the capital for disabled Confederate veterans, and that
the State Legislature has refused again and again to
accept the property, coupled with a provision to ap-
propriate a maintenance fund. Read more
Over century has sailed by since the luxury steamship RMS Titanic met its catastrophic end in the North Atlantic, plunging two miles to the ocean floor after side swiping an iceberg during its maiden voyage. Rather than the intended Port of New York, a deep-sea grave became the pride of the White Star Line’s final destination in the early hours of April 15, 1912. More than 1,500 people lost their lives in the disaster. In the decades since her demise, Titanic has inspired countless books and several notable films while continuing to make headlines, particularly since the 1985 discovery of her resting place off the coast of Newfoundland. Meanwhile, her story has entered the public consciousness as a powerful cautionary tale about the perils of human hubris. Read more
