Veteran's Day Tribute
On Veteran's Day, Michael offered our tribute to those who:
have returned home with no one to greet them
have been told that PTSD will go away with time
have never been told thank you or officially welcomed home
returned home physically but still are haunted by nightmares of war
still react to backfire and break a sweat at the sound of a chopper
have travelled endlessly never letting roots take hold or settled down
hear a familiar song that takes you back to a place you’d rather forget
can count the friends they have on one hand for fear of losing another
suffer from Agent Orange exposure and are still fighting the last battle
fought battles in steaming jungles of Vietnam and also here at home
have more friends on the Vietnam Memorial Wall than they do in this life
