I have a lot of songs about the war...I was an Army Officer, stateside...adjutant with the transportation corps...

Ancient Mariner..your words are true...we just found out today we lost another one...101st...

Barbara L. and any other women..I run an email list for women who were affected by the war...as veterans, widows, fiances etc...called Sanctuary after the ship..http://wwwl.angelfire.com/wv/sanctuary

to whoever wrote those hateful words about the green berets...for shame...

here is the song called WASHAWAY BEACH..for a nurse...

I live in a land they call washaway beach
where the cranberries grow and the sandpipers screech
the land keeps washing away from my reach
oh wash me away in the morning

chorus

for time and the tide have taken a toll
on the beach and the jetty the shore and shoal
the weary old waves they just rock and they roll
and wash me away in the morning

if you wash away sand you can wash away grief
and cleanse me of memories past all belief
at very long last I can get some relief
oh wash me away in the morning

wash every enemy wash every friend
give us the peace where the peace has no end
what war tore assunder let nature now mend
oh wash me away in the morning

the sea washed away and the sea can rebuild
and wash all the places where blood has been spilled
my heart has been broken my heart will be filled
oh wash me away in the morning...
