Armed Forces Day


Fist. Club. Rock. Sword. Spear. Arrow. Gun. Cannon. Tank. Bomb. Mushroom cloud.

Mushroom. Glade. Hollow. Grave. Tomb. Tombstone. Cemetery. Arlington. Colleville.

Army. Navy. Marines. Air Force. Reserve. Mothers. Fathers. Wives. Daughters. Sons.

Gone to flowers, every one.

God bless those who, knowing that the leaders say war is the public's business, take up their duties with the heavy knowledge that the losses are personal.

Armed Forces Day.

Very thought provoking.
