~ 'NAM VETS ~

You went to war barely men,
yet you were ready to defend

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God, Corps, and country were your cries
as you faced the enemy in stride.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You gave all you had; blood, sweat and tears
as you faced your unseen fears.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cost ~ your very lives;
The reward ~ empty words and spoken lies
