22 is UNACCEPTABLE

I keep a special place in my heart for veterans. Please accept my GRATITUDE:
For there are those that require our HONOR
There are those that require our THANKS
There are those that require our RESPECT
They stand UNKNOWN in their ranks.
They have sacrificed PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY
for lost limbs and ANONYMITY
as we are ignorant of their SUFFERING
they fight on in ISOLATION.
because we are blind to their IMMOLATION
they loose heart, and in FRUSTRATION
voices lost in CONFRONTATION.
break the cycle
see the pain
make it right
bring the rain
let them know
its not in vain
why they fought
we KNOW
we THANK
we LOVE
