AMERICAN SOLDIER POEMS

About the Book

From Horse Cavalry to Special Forces—
on bloody ground—
in bitter skies—
on raging seas,
the American Soldier
has battled and bled,
served and suffered,
testified and triumphed.

These poems are dedicated to all who ever felt the sting of combat, heard the zing of bullets, clung to faith and comradeship. They cover America’s wars from the Gulf back to the Trenches— from parade ground to wheel chair and taps.
Regular, Reservist, National Guardsman——

the American Soldier planted America’s Flag
and America’s Ideals wherever tasked to
defend Freedom!

By a two-war, valor-decorated combat veteran, father, grandfather.
