For you it was the News................For me it was Reality.
You called for Pizzas...........................I called for Medics.
You watched Construction.......I performed Destruction.
You watched children Play...............I watched them Die.
You learned of Life................................I learned of Death.
Your passion was to Succeed........Mine was to Survive.
You served Dinner...........................I served my Country.
You Forgot..............................................................I Can't

Wow. You could have easily thrown a few swear words or a couple dozen exclamation points in there - but, truly, I don't think it could have been any more powerful than it already is.
I won't dare to suggest that I can relate to your experience (I recognize fully that I simply cannot)- but I will thank you for sharing this and again offering a much needed reminder. I love the way you laid this out - clearly, a visual representation of how great the different perspectives are. As gently as I possibly can - I'll say that I consider myself to be somewhere in the middle... never forgetting, though not fully knowing.
With great appreciation for your service,
SNM
