  The War with no Parade

  I watched a welcome home parade on the TV news last night,
  It was for veterans coming home from a war we felt was right.
  Each soldiers face was beaming forth with so much hope and pride,
  As if they’d won a first class seat on victories greatest ride.
  I could not feel the pride in them I thought I ought to feel,
  And could not share at all in my country’s post war zeal.
  Instead my thoughts were carried back to a time not so long past,
  When a group of soldiers came back home, not a victors, but outcasts.
  They fought with the same courage, a war they could not win,
  Yet no parade did welcome them as brave nor hallowed men.
  Their wounds were many more than Desert Storm could ever know,
  The wounds of spirit and of flesh, our nation left to grow.
  When you came home there was no bands or great big cheering crowds,
  But Dad there was a family that could not have been more proud.
  So, of this celebration, I find I quickly tire;
  And of my nation, I find that I am tempted to inquire;
  Where was my father’s thank you for the price he gladly paid,
  Where were the ticker tapes and cheers for the war with no parade.

  A poem I wrote for my Dad post Vietnam. It wasn’t intended to demean the great sacrifice of our troops in desert storm, but was just my way of expressing my sadness at the years and years of suffering my Dad endured after the war and the PTSD he endured for so long.
