He jests at scars that never felt a wound. A medal is a scar. The familiar Purple Heart shows your scar on a uniform of the armed services of United States,
as wound stripes did in other armies. Now we wear them on the license plate of civilian vehicle. It is the citizen soldier's - airman's (sic), Marine's, sailor's - medal,
first awarded in our national revolution by George Washington. A medal is also a tattoo, indeed pricked with a needle onto the uniform. A tattoo is a scar.
He jests at scars that never felt a wound. Romeo speaks to Mercutio, his bosom friend about to die in close combat. But the lover speaks of love not war.
A medal shows love. Your commander recognizes your love, on behalf of your country. A chest full of medals is a derisory term in English,
spaghetti on your dress uniform. It's a mean thing to say, something to say about someone you don't love, who has loved someone you don't love, who has loved them as they do not love you.
Fine. Any contempt anyone expresses about any aspect of any war on any occasion is totally okay by me. War is murder and torture, something we do because it is wrong.
Medals are scars of wounds sustained doing something right. Here is another one from the Republic of Viet Nam.
I so appreciate your assisting at this ceremony, as I read this citation. Please consider joining for free the audience for the Republic of Viet Nam and a dozen other things to do with that country you likely have not heard of elsewhere.
Please consider patronizing this variety at $50/year or the whole theater at $250/year. It's a charity. We need some dough but we first need you here at the awards ceremony.
