WOUNDED SOLDIERS RETURNING from combat share much in common. Amidst their trauma is a selfless call for their embattled brothers and sisters. How are they doing? Did they make it? Although their words may differ, the sentiment isn't lost.   As a physician and army combat veteran, my response to them is rooted in my role: let's just focus on you now. But the solidarity between battle-hardened veterans is as palpable as is inspiring and even lasts after death.   Memorial Day offers each of us an opportunity to honor that commitment borne in tragedy.
