Excellent

"Died For Freedom", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. Good luck with the contest.

You have successfully written an acrostic poem. This would have been very difficult ,I am sure.It is a very good tribute to those soldiers who died fighting for freedom. What a waste of good lives! I am not sure recent wars are being fought for freedom.

This is really a very strong poem to honor our American servicemen. It appears to be the Vietnam Memorial, so I'm not sure whether the poem is intended to honor all our lost military members, or just those who died in Vietnam. It's probably all of them.

My favorite line:
"End of mission... "Death" - till they live again"

I suggest this one change because the following verse, if you will forgive me, feels awkward as it is:

Memorizing the fallen on many of walls
-->
Memorizing the fallen on so many walls

The poem is a very good one to honor the fallen.

I think this is a good entry for the In Their Memory writing prompt.
This well written verse is a nice Acrostic paying tribute to soldiers.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.

Very nice. I didn't notice it was an acrostic until after I read it. That's a credit to you since none of the words seems forced. So hard to do with an acrostic. The message in your poem was excellent. These men deserve to be remembered and thanked for their ultimate sacrifice. Well done.
