Veterans Day


 Today is Veterans Day 

(aka as my Birthday)

A day celebrating

The end of one horrible war

And those who created that Peace

There are many types of Veterans

That I call out in this moment

In many shapes and squiggles and forms

Veterans of Military Service

Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard

Veterans of Mental Illness

Suicidal Ideation, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD

Veterans of Racism

#BlackLivesMatter and #BIPOCLives Matter

Veterans of Sexism and Homophobia and Transphobia

Who are fighting so that we all may Love who we Love

Veterans of Loneliness and Isolation

Who are fighting to feel Belonging and Community

Veterans of Pain or Sorrow or Fear

And Veterans at the intersections of all of these

This is a day we honor 

Those who have put their lives on the line

So that we might be free to be ourselves

Thank you for your service

Thank you for your service

Thank you for your service
