You've said it very well, Karla. Served for 11 years, all stateside, and you're right; stateside vets are treated differently even tho we may have been 2,000 miles away from our families for months and months at a time. They wanted me so badly in 2003 they took me and stationed me at Fort Sill, Oklahoma even tho I was already totally disabled. Said they wanted my brain, not my body. And yet, I'm not considered a disabled veteran? Go figure!!!
For the past two years (2006-2008) The Bridge of Silver Wings has earned a name for itself both as a series of poems published in different e-zines and as a book first published in 2007.
What makes this 2009 edition a special one is th
A short story of mine was included in an anthology of short fiction by fourteen of Port Town Publishing Company's authors. It is out of print and no longer available except as a download. Contact me at charlenetess@yahoo.com if you want it.
