| CIVILIAN CONTRACTOR In memory of Herb Wall "I'm a civilian contractor, not a soldier. You see, that's the only difference between you and me. Like you, I volunteered and like you, I have some fear. I go with you standing tall and praying we don't fall. You've done well, you scored one today and they tell me your medals are on the way. I get no medals, promotions or awards. Doesn't matter, I must go forward. Newsweek and Time write about you often, the contractor mostly forgotten. You tell you story, your loved ones can hear. I have been cautioned to keep quiet my job to fear. No one knows us, we're just there, hurting bleeding and dying. Doesn't matter, we're just contractors." Written By: Herb Wall |
