The prompt today is based upon Veteran’s Day in the United States, a holiday that honors those who serve our country. It was inspired by a series of newspaper articles in a local paper this past week about how veterans do good in our community as part of their patriotism or to help them recover from the wounds of war. Think about what war does to the people directly involved and indirectly through home support. Take this in any direction you wish.
