101 years ago
on this day, rarely anyone knows.
Except for a lot of great and great great family members,
it is often a day when no one remembers.
Plenty on of soldiers said their good-byes
to their girlfriends, fiances, and their wives.
They were willing and ready,
to join the great war,
with their flat helmets, single fire rifles, and more.
The great war was considered a holy war,
all with religious purposes.
As soldiers left for Germany,
thousands of ministries and preachers emerge.
War was on our horizon,
way before it was declared.
Men who were not even able to drink yet,
went away without being scared.
Oh the anxiety for every soldier,
on April 5th.
After saying their good-byes to their loved ones,
all they they could do was wait till April 6th.

- Comment from author about the poem: 101 years ago to this day on April 6th, America joined WW1 by going to war with Germany. So often it is overshadowed by WW2 that people forget it. Maybe it is because I enjoy history that I wrote this piece. Persistence is key
