all veterans saw
the horror of combat and all in different ways. Some traveled across the oceans
deep in the black abyss never really knowing when the silence could be broken
with the thunder of a depth charge. Surface ships kept an endless watch from
sky attacks as well as the silence of an incoming torpedo. Ground troops
ventured into the unknown where any given step could end lives and cripple futures.
High above the chaos on the ground pilots and crew protected their brothers and
sisters with support fire and recon. Back on the safety of so many bases
throngs of servicemen and women braved the barrage of enemy mortar fire to tend
to the wounded, comfort the scared and bring news from home. War is one big
family working together to serve and protect and when a family loses one of
their own they all weep and shed tears. All veterans saw the horror and some
still do. Some came home in body only while others remain trapped in their own
minds reliving the nightmares they will never wake up from. Remember our fallen
this Memorial Day and every day because they can never forget.
M.O.
