When the muse strikes, she can be a harsh mistress and makes you write and continue until you reach the end.
The Veteran is not long but the story had to be written.
He represents many men and women now, who served with strangers who became friends and as close as family and when those friends were lost to battle, accidents or just time, they remember them and pass on their stories to the youngsters.
The Wall is not just one wall but all of them that record the names of those who were serving and paid the final price so we can live.
Thank you.
