Wind lifts feathered wings
floating on simple of freedom
icons stand as soldiers fall
in every country across the land,
bells toll final tally weighed in as answers.

Congrat on the shiney.. Well diserved. From the ben there done that side of war. Even if you come out alive, you have given up a big part of your youth never to get it back..

Deep are the stains of anguish which fill the hearts of loved ones across the land, for the price of flesh to stand for the good of man. So a symbol of freedom flies softly through the sky to inspire. Very well done imagery and metaphor sweetheart. Congratulations on the silover earned for this.
Love,
