The poetic entry in this week’s issue is a powerful piece submitted in honor of Memorial Day, titled as follows:

The Ultimate Gift

No greater love

is there than this:

that one gives his life

for another—

an act which you

have done

my angel of

a brother!

Saving a fellow

soldier’s life

while sacrificing

your own,

words that are now

the epitaph

engraved upon

your stone.
