Craig, powerful write, wonderful rhyming all the way through. I come from a family that has served so this definitely struck a cord with me. Thank you for this and thank you for serving. Well done-

I have read this a few times now and I have to say in its simplicity its beautiful and ad all at once and I'm glad its nominated. We all have scars, some visible others not so much but they make us stronger, definitely.

A beautifully written poem full of power and truth... with an even more beautiful dedication! Fantastic job!
