Cover Contest 11/6-11/12/19 A Salute to Service

[MRP]

Yes it happened again, I won and select the topic for a week with a US national holiday, this time Veteran's Day (formerly Armistice Day). So in keeping with the occasion, I will tailor the theme to the holiday again...

So this week's topic is A Salute to Service: choose a cover that depicts members of the armed forces. No space wars, super-heroes at war, etc. but rather rank and file members of the armed forces who serve their country (officers are acceptable as well).


For my choice, I am selecting Sam Glanzman's A Sailor's Story GN...

Well, how'd you do, Private William McBride?
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?
I'll rest here awhile in the warm summer sun,
I've been walking all day, Lord, and I'm nearly done.
And I see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the glorious fallen in 1916--
Well, I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean,
Or, Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?
