. ''The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war,no matter how justified,shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation'' --George Washington--

`Peace`
Can I hear a bird sing?
Or is it the gun fire ringing in my ears
Cold body suddenly warm
A Billion souls eyes smiling hands outstretched
Vortexes of love engulf me smother me
Laughter fresh cut grass descends around us
Peace tranquillity has found this soldier
Welcome Home son
Dry your eyes
Your friends are here
Hold my hand
Together into the light.
