On the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month

“These men were crusaders. They were not going forth to prove the might of the United States. They were going forth to prove the might of justice and right, and all the world accepted them as crusaders, and their transcendent achievement has made all the world believe in America…”
- Woodrow Wilson


We remember those who did not return,
and those who did but damaged in body or soul.
We mourn with those who left camrades behind.


Dedicated to men like my grandfather,
who manned a "French 75" on the Line, their toast;



"To Lost Friends..."
