Topeka Library's Comment Board

Remember as Memorial Day comes - the voices....

Of wives...who would rather have their husbands to hold

Of children...who would rather have their dad or mom at home.

Of mothers...who have buried their sons/daughters

Of fathers...whose feet their children followed

Of the men and women fighting a nightmare of their own -

one they will carry with them until the same song plays,

the same flag drapes and the same tears fall

just as they watched in pain their friends and comrades

committing what they will come to call "wrongs"

by which they lived..by which they survived...

nightmares they will carry with them throughout their lives.


It doesn't go away when the guns are laid down..

It doesn't go away when they return home...

It doesn't go away for them - why should it for you?

Remember those who have lost loved ones as much as you remember the ones who were lost and don't forget to pray for those who are out there everyday fighting for your freedom...
