That's so true. I worked with a man who was a reporter at our local newspaper. He served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. He told me several times that he never got more than 2 hours of sleep a night because of flashbacks of things he saw during those years. Thanks to all of those who have so unselfishly fought to preserve our freedom. The poem really says it all.
