I still have my Viet Nam Veteran's Against the War membership card. I never went to D.C. for the big demonstrations. But provided security for the local ones here in Idaho. It was only last year that my wife gathered up all of my medals and had them placed in a shadow box. In the center is an old picture of me in July of 1965. I walk by it and wonder if I will ever meet the kid in that photo. I still can't but glance at the box. I'm glad I don't drink anymore.
To my friends who didn't make it, to the ones who came home broken by war, to the rest of us who will mourn, and to the Mothers - Lord Forgive Us -
