OUR VETERAN HEROES OF THE WAR

Recently I watched a program on the Vietnam war And I realized even more what these soldiers stood for They were living in trenches that they called home Sometimes being alone, and just thinking about the unknown They were always under constant attack But they always knew the other soldiers had their back All they wanted to do was survive And try for everyone to stay alive Some days they watch their fellow soldiers die And they would look up in the sky and cry Each soldier in this country has fought for our freedom And today our soldiers have pleaded On solutions that are still needed Today some are homeless, and some need medical care Nothing that is going with our veterans are fair A lot of these veterans has P.T.S.D These our strongest and bravest veterans That you will ever meet in your lifetime So today in this country is the right time To show them love, and everything in the end will turn out fine

This is very well done. My family has a long history of involvement in the military, going all the way back to WWI. My uncle suffered from a form of PTSD, so I genuinely appreciate your effort here. Cheers from Canada. Jim

Thank you SO MUCH for this lovely poem. I am a veteran of OEF (the Afghanistan war) and I struggle with PTSD and with my mental health (or unhealth) in general, and it means a lot to read another poet’s words of encouragement and support. Thank you.
