All veterans have felt the melancholy that underlies Sammy Fain and Irving Kahal's song 'I'll be seeing you'. I remember many a night in a ship rolling in an ocean with my thoughts far away. There is a word that describes the feeling: saudade -- the nostalgic longing to be near again to something or someone that is distant, or that has been loved and then lost; "the love that remains".
Give a thought to our past and present veterans. They've thought of you, it is the lonely cost of a distant post.
