Veterans, God Bless You, Heroes –
Let them not aimlessly roam,
as they shiver
down to the bone,
calling irregular-shaped
cardboard pieces,
their home.
God Bless our Veterans
for their inexplicable
kindness shown;
please never let them
end up homeless,
and alone.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Gospel of St. Matthew 5:3-10

This is an amazing piece. It’s so painfully sad and ridiculously angering to see vets chucked aside when they return home, without the support they need after everything they’ve done for their country. Fantastic post – think you need to send this on to a few political folks as a reminder that they need to be doing more in government!
