Heroism
The old man lay dying, succumbing to ravages of toxic chemical exposure he suffered decades before. No one knew of the great sacrifices made for his country. Unthinkable sacrifices were made in a conflict where he had no say, yet he was forced to fight.
He never discussed the atrocities witnessed as a young man, trauma he still relived as he slept every night, and all the friends who were left dead on a distant battlefield in the forgotten war. An unsung hero sent to a war that his compatriots never wanted, but politicians insisted upon. Peace at last.
