I also volunteer as a mentor for veterans who have traveled a road not dissimilar to mine.”Janet’s Story“As the wife of a combat vet, life has at times been pretty challenging. For most of our marriage, we did not talk about Vietnam or my husband’s experiences. I had no clue how many medals he had received until several years ago when I was doing some packing to move into a different home. It was at that time that I discovered he had been awarded numerous medals for valor, including two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts, an Air Medal for Valor in flight, the Vietnamese Gallantry Cross, and a Presidential Unit Citation. To preserve these for our sons, I had them put in a shadow box. Even then, Tony insisted we display only a few of his most honored medals instead of the full array.”Tears of a Warrior is written so that all veterans from all wars, regardless of service branch, will benefit by the message.

This story is written to make a difference.“If we send them, then we must mend them.”SILENT SCREAMYou cannot see a Silent Scream. When looking from outside. But you might find a glimpse of it. While peering deep in someone’s eyes. You will not hear a Silent Scream. In noisy, crowded rooms. But if you sat down face to face. Your heart may sense its painful tune. You shall not feel a Silent Scream. Amidst our fast- paced world. But if you wandered near to it. Its anxious spirit might unfurl. We walk right past a suffering soul. And often turn away. Not strong enough to face the grief. This world has made him pay. For Silent Screams are not unique. To those who fight and die. The living warrior hell survived. Is left to hold his tears inside.–Janet J.
