This is the week that our veterans, whom we send overseas to do our sometimes necessary and always dirty work, then ignore them when they return -- this is the week that those in hospitals and at home hear fireworks and dive for cover, yelling, "Incoming!" July 4, 1993, in a VA hospital, was my introduction to this unfortunate and neglected holiday tradition. The 4th has never been the same.
So I never look forward to this week and don't now. I'll get through it. That's about it.
