"Dawn's House of Poetry is proud to present the  Poem of the Month award! This award will be presented to all poems we feel were written from the heart and which we feel were written with creativity and thought. Although many poems deserve this special award we will only choose two or three poems each month. All poems that have received this award will be tagged with a special ribbon (as seen above)"

It will be an honor to have your fellow country men together with ours, I am so very pleased you asked. God bless the Agent Orange Victims, I will never allow them to be forgotten.....
Look forward to hearing from you....."
"It is our earnest and sincere desire to have your loved ones, living or dead, represented in the Quilts of Tears. We want to show the general public what happened to these victims and that they will NOT be forgotten. Please help us to honor your loved ones.
