Left Out in America's Wasteland

Aren’t we all deserving? When did we stop taking the time to listen?
No “slot” for me to fit into.
I live in soulful frustration along with stunned amazement at how this beautiful country of ours can ignore many hidden American civilians like myself.
In 1970, while traveling with the USO as an innocent, 18-year old volunteer, I was repeatedly and unexpectedly exposed to Agent Orange (I have written about those times in alossofinnocence.com.)
All of us who were there—volunteers, nurses, photographers, contractors, and others—were exposed to this lethal chemical we did not know was everywhere.
