An American GI
He went to
Vietnam...
The communist
VC’s bullets pierced his body
He kept on
fighting.
But when an
American journalist’s pen
Punctured his
heart
He took his last
breaths.
Old Glory was
draped over his coffin;
He went back home
to America, his sweet home.

"....If we cannot shed a tear of Love and Gratitude for America's 58,000 dead children, for others in the Vietnam War, then I should pack and go back to where I came from."
