Moments

Spotter to my left, we're covered in camouflage. Objects appear in front, some moving others mirage. Distinguish what's real, and what image is fake. Knowing when target approaches, the shot to take. When decision is made, after targets been found. One shot, one kill, target laying upon ground.

War is a dreadful state to find oneself in...leaving a war, doesn't necessarily mean, it has left those who fought for their homeland and country and their families. Those who we see returned to us safely from war, are braver than we can imagine. My father was a Vietnam War Veteran, perhaps you have fought in a war, or not, but you have the perspective correct. Once a person has been on the battlefield, I don't think it ever leaves a soldier in peace.

God Bless your father, Lady..as well as yourself..your views of the battlefield is precise..visions of war last a lifetime..ive studied all aspects of war..yet never experienced its brutal ways..with expression of words..its my honor to write of a topic often overlooked..with total details..exacting the battlefield..with respect and dignity to any who served.

You have said a great deal in a few lines. It is all there, in a neat package. I am so glad I do not have to make these decisions, but I am grateful there are men and women who are there for us to do it for all of us. This poem is a tribute to them.
