(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
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
