Pre 911

Pre 911

We served 
pre 911
No early
Pre boarding
When we flew
stale cookies
And weak 
Lemonade
Was all
The USO
Could manage
To feed
Us 
While we waited
For our Journey 
To begin

When we got 
Out
Our GI 
Benefits
We're virtually
Nothing

And

Don't even
Think
About 
VA
compensation
Unless 
You were
Missing a limb
cuz
Back in our
Day
It just did 
Not happen

So now when
I see benefits 
being advertised 
For veterans
With the 
Eligibility 
Being
That your
Post 911

I just have to
Think
And ponder

You forgot
About 
Us before 911
And 
Your forgetting
About
Us 
Now......

Tragic... I cant get my head around that... you served for your country for its protection and never got anything in return. Truly disappointing... great awareness write. Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea

Jermey I served, you pretended you did, which makes you the lowest level loser. If the truth be known, I really respected your intelligence and talent as a poet, but
. Then you decided to pretend to be a marine and disrespected Cherie.  You spit on the only friends you had.
