Thanks, Harry - another well written poem. It is strange that as I read it, the soldier on leave could have been an American, so I was a bit surprised when I read the ending and he was a Nazi soldier. So many were killed - had to be one of the worst and claimed so many lives of our soldiers who fougt to end this war in Germany. Many of the survivors will never forget, as they were freed from the death camps.
No errors noted and again, well written and honest.
Keep up the good work, Harry, and WRITE ON!

I read your entry with interest. Although I wasn't old enough to remember it well, I later in life learned of the tragety that happened to these young men and how so many were killed. This prelude to the Omaha Beach story is very well written\. No errors noted, and it was a realistic picture of the troops going into their first and for many, last, battle. You told this story with an easy to follow buildup. I will be reviewing all entries when the contest closes on the 30th of November. Thank you again for the entry/ Well done! WRITE ON!

Wishing you the bet!

Thank you for your entry in the Honoring Our Veterans November Contest - very well written, no errors noted. You have given the memorial to this piece for all who didn't make it home, and for those wounded in mind and spirit who did come home. you have given those who critized the soldiers for "what they did" in Name. Well, I hope that many of those folks will read this and realize what those who served went through.
To all who served, heartfelt thanks -
I will be reviewing all entries again when the contest closes on November 30th.
Write on~
