Its a wonderful poem. I am holding a support the troops rally next friday to remind this selfish community that our heroes fight for THEM…I think I will put this poem on display…it says so very much. Someone else e-mailed it to me..but it didn’t have the author with it. Thanks for your help. Happy Holidays.

Hi Paul and thank you for your service! Here is a great source of poetry that honors the military. Michael Marks (the author of the above poem) has several others on this site.

Saw this poem while searching for Vietnam Poetry. Thanks for writing
what most Nam Vets can’t. Will keep looking for other poems, but
this one is right to the point.
Thanks Paul Troop Sr.
