1: Always a Marine by Ernest Bywater This is an outstanding story that makes me cry with appreciation for the hero every time I read it. I wish that I could give it more than a score of 10. I have read this story several times, and it effects me emotionally very deeply every time I read it.
2: Such Is Life by LarryElfin This poem says exactly the way I feel about my wife. I normally do not care for poetry, but this was so heartfelt that it made my cry. Thank you, LarryElfin for expressing my feelings much better than I could have.
