A collection of original poetry from a Vietnam War Veteran, David Rose, who is diagnosed with PTSD by the Veterans Administration. Some of these poems are very personal and dark while others are lighter, but I wanted to make them available to the public as an educational tool to everyone who is interested. The poems are copyrighted, but can be used for any nonprofit reason with credits. It is my sincere wish that someone will find these heart-felt writings useful.

Celebrating Memorial Day with PTSD
I've appreciated dozens of Memorial Days
I've celebrated it in lots of ways
I've been to the Indy 500
I've been treasure hunting and wrongly plundered
I've toured the Greek countryside
I've crossed the great divide
I've stayed home and had a Bar-B-Q
I've even worked all the way thru
I've respected Memorial Day all these years
I've experienced cheers and tears
I've remembered my fallen brothers from the war
I've shared my esprit de corps
I've today experienced Memorial Day with PTSD
I've definitely become much more of a devotee
David Rose - Vietnam Veteran - Combat Medic
