First a poem I found.     "If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.          Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.          And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind. Major Michael Davis O'Donnell 1 January 1970 Dak To, Vietnam Listed as KIA February 7, 1978 I post this to honor those who did not receive the honor they deserved when they returned home to a country gone so mad about a war that many forgot that the warriors were doing their duty for us in the best way they were allowed, by a bunch of politicians that had no idea what they were doing.

The words of the soldier touched me so much. All of the recipients deserve honor, but this is the list I found and we are all blessed by their blood and bravery. We just need to remember. _________________ Established member 25+ posts Joint Ops Member A little chaos each day Keeps the boredom away, And confuses the heck out of everyone! http://template1.webtgm.com/forum/index.php
