What do ribbons really mean?
They show about a time and place you have been.
They show deeds done.
That is the face they show to others.
They wont ever show the child never coming home.
They wont ever show the child never held again.
They wont show the light leaving some ones eyes.
They wont show the loss of having every thing you had destroyed.
They wont tell of the torment of dreams.
They wont tell of faces coming to you in your sleep.
They wont tell of the sounds and smells that send your mind to a far off place

Interesting way of looking at
Interesting way of looking at ribbons. I like it.
I do get questions from people around me and from my grandchildren as to what they represent and mean; and all of them are now in a shadowbox.
The only one I care to explain ...
... doesn't tell anything about where I've been - other than branch of service.
