| They often don't come, and rarely does a "Thank you!" except at the lips of a fellow vet. Well put, Karla. There are those of us who do notice heroes. |

Great poem Karla!
You are right ... Veterans have not been treated as well as they deserve to be.
Fortunately, things are beginning to change:

| Oh, my goodness, Karla, this is an awesome piece of work. Sometimes in poetry the message is good, but the poem is not; or, the poem is good but there is no clear message. In this piece you have joined the two brilliantly. |
