In 1944 Richard Hartnett wrote the poem "My Homeland Sea" while serving his country in the South Pacific. Now 70 years later, the poem is being nominated for NH's state poem. It is a great honor for not only those veterans from World War II, but also for our heroes returning from America's longest running war. Thanks to all our Veterans. We must continue to honor and support their courage and sacrifice on our behalf. Nominating this poem as NH's state poem is just another small way to do so. Peace.
