Brothers In Arms
by RGstar
Dear RG...
This is my 3rd attempt to attempt in 2 days to search for words or
thought composures to do even modest justice to your combined
elegy and eulogy on the truest heroes and sacrifices of war's most
irrefuteable loss and often too muted tragedy of those who gave
all, sacrificed most, and yet ignobly met their too often fatal fate,
on foreign soil, amidst the monstrous weapons of war, lonely,
with wounds and ravages of doom and demise.
The Veteran's Day remembrances and celebrations there are, in their
honor and service, are far too superficial and all too insufficient
compared to what they deserved; and until or unless there is
a more significant "Brothers, brother's in arms" call and unequivacol
commitment to honor and peace, imbued with impassioned love
and deeper, truer meaning in love, support and gratitude, their
valor and unmittigating courage will remain far too insufficent.
They unceremoniously, but dedicatingly died for us....for our
peace and security at home in our country, and still not enough
seem to come to grips with that altruistic and most treasured
and sacred legacy. Too many seem too complacent about it
or only passively salute their valor and their irreprable contribution.
I sincerely enjoin you in this profound masterpiece of reflective
compassion and deeply humane expression of appreciation of all
the "Brother's in arms" past, who never returned, and too many in no
specified resting place or attended farewells. Thank you for sharing
this reminder and vital remembrance and recognition. Can well
understand the emotive effect this had on you, in recording and
writing it dear friend. Effects are stunning, riveting to very core
of heart and soul. I salute you for your courage and strength in
your goal and contribution in their behalf through your exceptional
poetic talent and gift in this presentation! God bless you for it!
( PS.. Another reason this tribute and remembrance of war
heroes and all those thousands of soldiers who took on the
challenge and duty for all of us....past, present, future, was more
personally reflective and emotive, is having lost my 2 son's in
the Iran/Iraq wars...in more serene perspective, but like for
many families whose soldiers never came home, still never
forsaken or forgotten, only loved ever still, as they once were,
always will be perpetually proud and no less grateful.)
With gratitude and appreciation always, Ronni

What can I say, I am just dumbfounded each time. You never fail to impress...perhaps impress is the wrong word, well, that is, perhaps, for a change, I am lost for words.
Thank you so much for your excellence. That is a joy within itself.
Wishing you and family a wonderful Christmas, though I know it will be difficult to achieve this year.
Thank you dear lady...you are one of the reasons I carry on here...as well write.
Best wishes.

Thank you RG for all your kind
appreciations on my review of
your incomparable poem.
Well deserved, truly more
than even my words could completely express I assure
you.
Likewise, it is I who is still
so amazed and astounded by
your most gracious and generous compliments! A perpetual mystery and always
a surprise, yet so sincerely
appreciated for your insights
and unique introspections.
Likewise dear RG...you are
and have been a most admired poetic talent and
abiding inspiration, as
faithful fan and friend, and
why I too remain on here... to read, learn, write, from
your ever inspiring and enigmatic writes and enlightenments!
Gratefully always! Ronni
