To Every Veteran
I Remember You

I remember you
in your Navy uniform
when you came home
from Desert Storm.

I remember you
your face a collage
of every veteran
I had ever known.

I remember you
with the face
of my Grand Uncle Roy
who refused to talk about mustard gas
in France.

I remember you
with the face of my father
who served in the Army Air Corps
in World War II.

I remember you
with the face of John
who wrote poems
about Vietnam.
