. ''The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war,no matter how justified,shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation'' --George Washington--

When the snow fell
© Dean Reganart
I wrote When the snow fell to describe one soldiers last moments before advancing to contact in the 1982 Falklands War.
Open mouthed
Tingling snow on my tongue
Almost time to advance
When the snow fell
Hail Mary mother of Grace
Blessed art thou
When the snow fell
Our Father who art in heaven
When the snow fell
“FIX BAYONETS”
One last taste
When the snow fell.
