An American Veteran's Home Page

He asked himself what he could do for his adopted country?
He went on his tour of duty to Nam
His former Spain is proud of him
He proudly answered the call from Uncle Sam

He returned home to find the war-protesters awaiting
The long-haired activists spat at him
He walked home in silence
America wept for her son-victim

He walks about with the crutches
He is mumbling "why?"
Looking up the skies in hope to see God,
He sees gratitude in a Magi

America feels sorry for her veteran-sons and daughters
They are being forgotten by their Commander-in-Chief
He labors for love and justice in his Dien Cai Dau Home Page,
Lest his posterity forget their ideal American belief...
