Poem Artwork

Injuries not colored enough to
merit purple, but the body is
bruised and scarred for life:  a

deeply rooted pain that never
goes away.  Sacrifice doesn't
have to be made on fields of

battle to earn medals they'd
give anything to be able to
take off, but can't.  How soon

some forget the service of tens
of thousands of our Wounded
Warriors here at home, who

live, who love, who die, in the
hopes someone will remember
the price we paid for freedom ...

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (10/17)

Self sacrifice for the protection of noble ideals is above a plane most men comprehend. That price is indeed, dear. You pay just homage to those remarkable few Karla. Love and peace to you my dear friend. Jon Michael

Yes, Karla, here's the real tragedy, the ordinary men and women who sacrifice; may they never be forgotten.

I will never forget; can't. If I did, I would be forgetting the sacrifices you, daddy, our five uncles, our brother, and our cousins made in the name of freedom. For that, I say thank you for serving; I am indeed grateful! Powerful reminder and I love the picture! Well done, Karla; brava! *Salute*

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

With Fred being Military for thirty years and his job taking care of those who fought, those on medical release, disabilities and the veterans, we see those Heros everyday. the difference is Karla, ours don't do without. Wish it was that way there. Great write.

I see these people every day out here. The busted, the wounded, the damaged, the scarred, the VA crowd, no purple hearts, no fanfare, no parades, but courageous beyond all description, now for the second time. For there is no creature on earth, great or small, with more courage than the soldier, or the addict in recovery.
