My hands are stained
Yours Crimson Red
Vital Organs
Replaced by lead
We couldn't save them
Yet they refused to die
Unanswered question remains
Why are we here? WHY?!
Honored Discharge
Purple Heart
Back to the States
Promised a whole new start
When we got back
Our country streets filled with screams
Because we fought
For the "American Dream"
Lifwe and soul
this war took all
In remembrance
Eternally etched on the wall.

I would never change the things ive seen for a life that wouldnt allow me the life lessons learned by seeing them, The pain and Nightmares are as much a part of my life as the love and joy they taught me to embrace.

so many of us have had our war. the war might be different but, the horror is the same.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Pain, regardless of the source, defines us. thanks for the great replies.
