Purple Heart Quotes

“The insults didn't faze me. It did piss me off to hear them call Jimmy a traitor. The man had earned a Purple Heart for wounds sustained in Afghanistan while serving his country. He'd returned for multiple tours of duty. He was already a certified American patriot, a hero. Jimmy brushed off the taunts with sarcasm. "That's hurtful." My body-worn camera caught him smiling as he said it. It was the last time either of us would smile for a really fucking long time.”
― Michael Fanone, Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop's Battle for America's Soul

“They Served

...reliving memories
that will not die
giving their all
for you and I -
friends taken

“another month,
another year,
another smile,
another tear,
another winter,
and another summer too,but there will never be another US together


It's time we're so crazy,
that people think we are high,
It's the times we laugh so loud,
we can't help but cry,
It's all insidethe jokes
and "remember whens",
those are all the reasons,
that's we're best friends<3”
