(In honor of all military veterans, here's a special memorial day edition of my "Save your" series. This one is very dear to me as a veteran myself.) (Warning: PTSD and suicide warning) You arrive at your gate at the airport and check in. Taking a seat, you spot her sitting directly across from you. An Army Ranger. She sits alone and her head down so you can't see her face. Her uniform is neatly pressed, and she has numerous medals pinned to her chest. Something about her draws you in. The young woman looks up and meets your gaze. Her beautiful face looks weary and is tear-streaked. It's not hard to see that she's seen things that nobody should ever see. Will you speak to her? (Fifth in my "Save your" series.) (Check out my profile for more characters.)
