DISDAINED OR HONORED
By Richard Dillion, Army
Writing Type: Poem
As Americans
Who fought wars before this one -
Brave soldiers fight on.
Guerilla warfare
In Iraq, the war goes on,
Who knows for how long.
Native sons maimed and dying,
Flag draped coffins coming home.
How will this war’s vets
Be treated by our nation
Disdained or honored?
Who fought wars before this one -
Brave soldiers fight on.
Guerilla warfare
In Iraq, the war goes on,
Who knows for how long.
Native sons maimed and dying,
Flag draped coffins coming home.
How will this war’s vets
Be treated by our nation
Disdained or honored?
