Wounded Warriors, I remember will you

Wounded warriors-I remember- will you
The disabilities never go away. “The problem is here at home” as this civilized society just will not see it. You are tired of hearing about my pain and mental situations so lets move on. The wounded warriors foundation is for the US Military Veterans coming back today. So today’s veterans will be as those in the past are today lost in a system and society that will not see or remember. “I remember, will you” should be a question that never is asked but in today’s civilized society it is a question that must be asked. Returning veterans just want to fit into life where we left off. It is impossible to see we are not the person that left. No: society believes that we have turned bad and no longer acceptable for what we have become. We on the other hand want so bad to be home with loved one’s forgetting or camouflaging our physical and mental disabilities to a determent unseen until years later. The silent demon factor has become the only way for other US citizens not to judge what they have no idea what is. Confusing to you’ all should look at it from the eyes of “of we” the veterans actually living the nightmare. My inspiration for this letter came from Gordon Duff’s article on “Veterans Today web magazine” Don’t Panic.
The problem is here at home rings so loud as my medical care for combat related disabilities is stopped to stop my freedom of speech. No one wants to see or talk to me for fear of the danger my character is portrait as. How do successful people like Gordon Duff hear a low class e-5 veteran? “No soldier left behind” is an arbitrary statement as it happens every day. US Military Veterans are left homeless on the street or destroying family and home because of no or limited insufficient medical care. I volunteer every day to help these citizens and more for I came back alive and owe it to the ones that gave their lives for our (USA) existence. The power of elected or just plain government workers uses retribution through character assignation to gain public fear to stop opinion voices of wrongs. “Justice can’t there be justice” must bring people like Mr. Duff’s eyes down to we the ones that filled the ranks under to win the war or conflict. I remember, will you are of the US Military veteran that is left behind because people listen but will not hear. They are left behind to fill the ranks of homeless or DAV with neglected or improper medical care because the VA is a government tool to control free will. The people sing loudly through organizations such as wounded warriors as soon those they sing today for are forgotten in history repeats the memory of other wars or conflicts again.
“It was all there too” reminds me of others so many years ago telling me I wasted such good potential “and so it goes”. We were all there but coming home alive limits us from being elected because we see life from where we were. Can you see Gordon why suicide while on convoy would have been better than coming home and seeing what we did it for? The disabilities never go away only medical care and patients from a civilized society that listens but fails to hear. “Don’t Panic”, seen though the eye of some one. If only we knew then what we know now?
