Suicides not
on the wall
Homeless flashbacks
America's heroes
marked and shamed
Lowest point in
America's history people would treat drafted
soldiers and volunteers with dishonor

suicides racked from pain with in
fifty eight thousand body bags

Ever vigilant Rolling Thunder
Flaming Eye yet Burns
Semper Fidelis

Awesome! It's just wrong when our heroes get mistreated! It doesn't matter if they agree with a war or not I don't see how people can disresect the amazing people that fight and have fought. Do they really think it's easy? Bull shit. they'd probably pee their pants the first time the saw a gun
