What did my government do for me?
What did my employers do for me?
What did the people I fought for do for me ?...
Nothing--so help me God--nothing!...

I got a ribbon and a bouquet--a little applause for an hour--and then the sight of me sickened my countrymen.

I was broken and used.

I was absolutely forgotten....

But my body, my life, my soul meant all to me.
