Jim Xie, a student of Kathryn Yam at Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School in Markham, Ontario, read and responded to the YES! Dear Veteran,Nowadays, ordinary people like me scare from simple things, such as creaks from a floorboard or a passing shadow.

In “a nation and a planet of wounded warriors, their offspring, and their neighbors,” we cannot help but to help each other.
