All Comments on 'It is The Veteran'

This was so powerfully moving. Thank you for reminding all of us what so few give so we are free.to all of you veterans thank you for your service.

Thank You for your service and this story. What a tribute you have given to those gave their lives for our freedom. Only someone who has served in a war zone would know some of the feelings you expressed in the story. They don’t talk much about what happened during their time in service. They live with it, many images in their minds they can never totally rid themselves of.

Thanks for Writing.

Damn, that one grabs you right where it hurts. Thanks, ronde, for an absolutely great story. I think about half of this story felt like it was about my life in the Marine Corps in’69 & ‘70.

I thought the observation about officers and non-coms acting differently in the States than they would in a combat situation was dead on. I saw it happen at Pendleton while there between tours of Vietnam. In ‘the bush’ they displayed a helluva lot more respect for us grunts. Maybe because we were all armed? 😇

Thanks again, ronde, I loved it. Five Stars
