One of my pieces will be inscribed on the "Empty Chair Memorial" to be dedicated Sunday at New Hampshire Speedway. Kinda proud, of that! The Empty Chair Each and every venue Should have an “Empty Chair” To remind, all of us And, to tell them, “We care!” Not too much, to give To those who, “gave their all” Just a Tribute to them Our cost, would be so, small! For those missing and recovered And for those, we still don’t know Whose remains. may still come home Or, where those still captive, go. All of our sports “heroes?” Who make millions on their back Should shell out a little bit To try, to get them back! Thousands fate, are still unknown And those Heroes didn’t know How quick, they’d be forgotten And the numbers, who don’t know. “Leave no one behind” Is tossed around too much Especially by those people Who, don’t really care that much. We live in our Freedom Because of those, we soon forget Except, for a few of us Who’ve not forgotten, YET!

Abe, Thank you for not only sharing this bit of information with us, but for your ever caring heart that people hear what they need to hear. Bless you, and please, let us all know how it goes. Include video streams if possible! Congratulations, my friend.  "The business of the poet...is to show the sorriness underlying the grandest things and the grandeur underlying the sorriest things."
