Lady "J" -
You brought so many tears and more to the surface with this great important piece! YOu shared the truth and that alone will be noticed! If you print this and frame it or not, your local libray may put it up on the wall, as customers walk in - I hope you do, it touched my heart and Soul. For those reasons alone, and more - Many do not stop and take the time to know and show humanity in their time of need. The TURN-AROUND later in this poem, was intensely written and moving. Thank you for sharing your heart kind, loving noticed heart! I must go see and read about Ed K's Chronicles - Thank you Jackie - for touching souls!
WRITE ON!
Warmest Blessings and Inner Peace, Warrior Purple Passion Lady SHEExoooo
STay Positive!

| Love tribute to vets. You got the message as you wrote on and thought about him. Yes, many men are torn and coming back from the war maimed in body and spirit. Praying for those good men and for you also. |

You've brought tears to my eyes dear friend, for this is one of the most inspiring poems I have read in a long time! You fill the reader with visions of those that fought, served, and protected...and also unfortunately those who are too often forgotten...powerful imagery, powerful write that does linger on one's thoughts...well done my friend, well done!
Blessings from Ky.

| Wow, I agree with your other reviewers. You should publish this for all to read. We are so busy in our daily lives we forget about those that may have fought for our freedom to go about our "daily whimsies". |

| Reaching across the divide here, Jackie... not of social barriers but of barriers of ignorance and (our) shame. This breaks my heart because of the truth it portrays on both sides of the coin. I've heard it said by those on the streets that it's not the fact that we're too busy to stop and give them the time of day... it's more the fact that we pretend not even to see them... A sobering reality and a very sad reflection on our citizenship... So much for being "civilised" nations. We are like blind beasts herding over the cliffs of greed and social disaster. Bless you for this heart-opening write. Kate xx |

Ah well said and so much true. Why are so many afraid to stop, reach out to another fellow human being? Are we not all one of God's children, even though we may all walk a different path. Who is to judge who is the better? Not I.....

So many have lost the "sparkle" in their eyes. Reality and PTSD drain that precious commodity from a soul. Poignant work. Too many forget or ignore those who risked EVERYTHING to guarantee our freedom.
Thank you from a Vietnam Corpsman. |

| Sad eyes. But saddest of all, the treatment sad eyes receives from his fellow man. When will we ever learn? Without the thousands upon thousands of sad eyes. We might all be the sad eyes on the street corners of a land controlled by a tyrant, dictator or the Communist. Bless you sad eyes. Thank you sad eyes. A tribute long over due.

| Hats off for a splendid and moving poem to those vets who are having a hard time adjusting to life after the horrors of war. Too many are committing suicide because they weren't diagnosed in time. They fired the guy in charge but always too late. |

how easily we forget
what we owe to you.
Powerfully penned and how so horribly true, Micke. We as a nation should be filled with shame. And as Georg says, most of these valiant vets only want a little respect and recognition and understanding of the hell they went through for all of us, and for the hell that many of them must now endure for the rest of their lives. |
