Arty



PosingThe sun came up during my morning walk along the Suwannee River. I had stopped for lunch when I noticed the car with the Purple Heart license plate. Arty, the owner, told me he was a Vietnam War veteran. “Welcome home Brother”, I said. “No one has said that to me in forty years”, Arty replied.” Do your grand kids know you are a hero?” “Don’t have no grandkids” Arty said. “Is your wife still here?” I ventured. “Well, I am on my third one and yes, she knows”
Thinking of that war so long, long, ago pushed me on through the day. But, that lazy river never noticed and just meandered along ever so slowly.
