Soldiers

[J.Q. Graziano]

Behind the jeweled "glory" of every battle throughout history are those irreplaceable human facets, that precious human toll, ornamented with blood & lost tomorrows - that permanent plundering, forever marring the brilliance of our fellow man.

Thank you, Dan.

[Daniel O’Donnell]

Beautifully said, J.Q. 🙏

Thanks for your kind words, reading and restacking 👍🏼

The night before the battle, great vignette, captures it so well. I still think we need "The Chronicles of Grimbauld" or something ;)

[Daniel O’Donnell]

Thanks very much Alexander 🙏

I am thinking of bringing these all together into a book but I’ll need to speak to far cleverer people than me to figure out how to do that 🤔

"but still wanting to look them in the eye and show he would be by their side no matter their fate."

The mark of a true leader on the battlefield.

So real and filled with the dread before battle. You paint the scene so well, Dan.

You know, sometimes now I like to play "guess the prompt word" as I read these 😄 Today I got it correct!

[Daniel O’Donnell]

Thanks very much Nathan 🙏

Well done on getting the prompt word 😁

Yeah, like I said, as soon I saw the word “tent” this tragic image formed almost instantly

These are all the stories I wrote in Philadelphia when I couldn’t sleep. A couple more to go and then I’ve got to figure out something new 🤔
