On this brisk November day
Leaves turning, skies clouded grey
From sea to shining sea
Proud General to humble PFC
You are all here,friends and comrades
Honored by marches and parades
Nestled in your final foxholes
Unforgotten...immortal souls
Walking upon fields green grass
Dotted with muted statues of brass
Thinking, musing, remembering final tones
Among hallow Garden of White Stones

wow this is an amazing piece, it's actually about the day itself it would seem, i like the references to the military in here (although a couple are over my head) and i just love the poem you have crafted here, best of luck in the contest (i am glad i am not the judge there is too many amazing pieces to chose from)
