MRM, Thanks. I almost didn't post this picture as it makes me flinch.
Buzz, I am sure I cannot really understand how much grit it takes to "keep your honor clean" in these battlefields.
My Dad was a marine and the Marine Corps Hymn was the first song I can remember. Once I asked my Dad what it meant to " keep your honor clean"? he said, " Fishy it is the toughest and the most important thing anyone ever does."
Great haiku. Fantastic picture.
ReplyDelete"More grit than glory" - I like that. Oorah
