They Served, And They Died

 

Personally I have no understanding of war.

I know people of more importance and smarter than I make these decisions.

Decisions I’m not always capable of understanding.

But it’s the men and women who stand between me and harm’s way-

That are greater than I.

I thank them all.

I’m sure some of them didn’t understand or care at all for war.

But they went, they served, and they died.

I did not.

Nor did those who made the decision that created war.
