About me: Chopper Journal is a little poetry book published four times a year in New London CT. Our mission is to give South Eastern Connecticut something that is long overdue, a poetry journal of its own. You don't have to be from Connecticut to submit; send us a good, well written poem, we may publish it, regardless of your address. Our editors are the poets Helen Peterson, Tom Weigel, and Terry Flynn. Originally published under the imprint Bank Street Press, our next issue will be published under Town Hill Press, NLC.

Of wives...who would rather have their husbands to hold
Of children...who would rather have their dad or mom at home.
Of mothers...who have buried their sons/daughters
Of fathers...whose feet their children followed
Of the men and women fighting a nightmare of their own -
one they will carry with them until the same song plays,
the same flag drapes and the same tears fall
just as they watched in pain their friends and comrades
committing what they will come to call "wrongs"
by which they lived..by which they survived...
nightmares they will carry with them throughout their lives.
It doesn't go away when the guns are laid down..
It doesn't go away when they return home...
It doesn't go away for them - why should it for you?
God Bless Our Veterans of Wars Past & Present
Remember those who have lost loved ones as much as you remember the ones who were lost and don't forget to pray for those who are out there everyday fighting for your freedom...
