Prose Projected For Delivery At Savanah Heights Intermediate - First Words For A Veterans Day Program

Autoplay

One of my happy active duty memories is a meeting with a Marine Corps training officer. Talking about street tough kids in the Corps he told me that these youngsters become ''humble puppies.'' I want to challenge each and everyone of you here to become a ''humble puppy'' - not in the United States Marine Corps which could be in the future - but here at Savanna Heights Intermediate.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

I struggle with the need for a new ethic other than the material. Speaking to a 5th and 6th grade audience on Veterans Day has become important to me. This scrap of projected words was discovered in papers today and published on PH.
