A very thought provoking read.

I hear the reality pulsing through your words and am impressed by you ability to communicate tis situation so well.

Hat's off man, great job.

My father was a WWII Navy veteran; my husband is an Air Force veteran of Vietnam; I'm active in our local VFW. Any time I see someone get out of a vehicle with a Marines/Navy/Army/Airforce, etc. bumper sticker, I go over and thank him (or her) for his (her) service to our Country, for standing in the gap and keeping us free. Sadly, I've met too many like the soldier described in your story who never got to hear from all those, like myself, who see them as so much more than a mere "pound of flesh," and will always hold them in the highest regard. This was beautifully written, heart-wrenching and insightful, and deserves a lot more than one vote. So I'm adding mine, and hoping others will see this, read it, and appreciate what it's saying. No soldier in any branch of the service should ever feel forgotten, and every one of them is forever a hero. Thank you for writing this.

A story that reminds us of the horrors that our troops encounter. Very well written. Good luck in the contest.

Amen!!!

This is a sad story, but it does happen. One can become a hero in his own country. A war may end, yet its impact last a lifetime to these men. This is well written with a moral lesson to remember - these men are heroes to be honored and not to be forgotten. Good work!

You capture the horror and inanity of war. And the sadness of being just that number, just for that use, just futility.

Your stories need to come together in a volume and put on Amazon.
