Here is Larry kicking himself. I ran into BOBBY today, the silver star recipiant in the song, I have known him for years! and for some stupid reason I wrote Bill.., so this is how the song SHOULD go, I just re-recorded it, and will drop off the corected version with WBAI today, they are playing the CD today. Ooooohhhhh.... SOrry Bobby. So I will make up for it, by introducing you to Bobby. He was a sargent in 1964. His brother was a male nurce in the Air Force, also in Viet Nam.

Oh Gunny is there a tent for me,
in the bivouac of the forgotten?
For I've just got back from the desert sands,
Fighting for Halliburton

No, You can share this grate with me,
and a bottle too cheep to mention
For the cost of the war that we fought
Was deducted from our pension

Oh, Gunny, all those things we've done,
will haunt my darkest dreams
And now I've lost those few things I had
Is this what M.I.A. means?

There's Bobby here, who in Viet Nam
Had a silver star pinned on him
And Sparrow fought in Panama
And the first Gulf war brought us big Jim

Where are the folks, who called for war
When we are cold and broken
They're urging young folks to go and die
Or return and be forgotten.
