The Word is Out
Veteran’s Day
Posted in Author Blog by Sandy Munro on November 10, 2011
I’ve never participated in Veteran’s Day gatherings. Maybe because I’ve always felt sort of like a low-level veteran … a veteran under-achiever. I missed the Vietnam War because I was in the East Coast navy. We went to Europe and the Caribbean, or rather I should say we operated in the North Atlantic, Mediterranean, and south off Florida. But every Veteran’s Day, and especially this one, I do spend much of it in reflection. I’ll open the box of medals, look at a few of the letters, or sit down with the family scrapbooks. And now I can look at the book, separate from the two years I was reading and re-reading those letters. Maybe it’s time to share that day. There’s bound to be some other accidental non-warriors down at the park on 11-11-11.
