The words below are from a dear friend, a veteran, in a conversation we had yesterday: I went to lunch with my stepdad (a Navy vet) and my mom. We were trying to put into words the shared experience of armed service. At the end, we concluded that it’s impossible to tell someone who says “Thanks for your service” that the burden of serving is the feeling that you enlisted as a patriot, but separated as a slave.
