The Vet He was caught up in time and tide The Nation’s leaders took a side VietNam became Grim Reaper's chore Now ask the Veteran what he fought for Anger is still shaking him deep Nightmares still proclaim his sleep He traveled away, so far to keep Promises; still, his country weeps For those who are lost and gone His country, he, who went beyond With the will of men who went along For a cause they thought was strong He led those teams who went to war Thank him please, for what he fought for |

All people in services need to be thanked for their courage, selfless sacrificing life. Fine writing. "Hardwork pays in the long run" |
