Tip of the Spear
Category: Poetry
"Tip of the Spear" is a poem that begins with the war in Iraqi sands and ends with the gritty war within. It was a war we carried home, to breathe and eat and not sleep to. It was a war we cannot bury while alive, for strong breezes of emotion and memory kick it back up in our faces, unexpectedly. The war is a part of our identify, as much as our teeth and jaw bone. And when the veterans of this war take it all to their graves, will the younger generation not fight a new one but find a path to peace instead?

Our all-volunteer force has served the nation well for more than 40 years, but without renewed interest, the future readiness, quality and effectiveness of the all-volunteer force is at risk. How can you help? Share your story with the youth in your community. Encourage them to be part of something greater than themselves, to protect and defend the freedoms and values upon which we built our great nation.
