I first heard these poems read 4 July 2002 at the Independence Day Ceremony held at the National Guard Armory in Marysville Kansas. I was so touched by them that they brought tears to this Marine's eyes, as well as everyone else who was present. They were written by Vietnam Veterans and portray real life experiences.
I knew when I heard them they should be shared. And so they have been entrusted into my care. It was my intention to give them a place of honor, as I owe the men who wrote them a place of honor. I hope that I have not failed in my mission.
Please do not copy them in any way or use any part of them on a website. You may link to the introduction page only, because they are placed in a specific order. |
