A Review from "The Iron Bank of BraavosOpen in new Window.!


Hi James A. Osteen Jr.

My name is Lyn, I am one of the sly foxes.

Title: The price of freedom

First Impression: The price of freedom does come at a very high price as the author and reader are very aware. I've lost family and good friends serving in the military. It's heartwrenching watching the flag folded and handed to the family.

What needs your attention: The four stanza format serves the poem's story very well. Nothing I could suggest would improve this remarkable tribute.

What part I liked best: It takes a special person to serve in the military, unfortunately the majority serve the briefest time possible to receive what bonus from the government. My son served 26 years in the Navy, and every time his ship was in a dangerous place I held my breath. This poem made me wonder about this soldier's family and the price they paid as well.

Overall impression: This poem reminds the reader lives are lost so we can enjoy all that our country offers. It's a beautiful tribute to the unknown soldier, soldiers. I pray there will come a time when we won't have wars.
