If I remember rightly, Amergin, you wrote a song about it, too, which I should have pointed out already. I believe it is in Aine's Mudcat Songbook?

Bruce, I am overwhelmed by your comments; you've given me a heart-smile. Really glad to hear how much the kids liked it and can relate to it. Thank you so much. You have moved me to tears of gratitude and hope and I am most deeply grateful.

I am also glad to hear you have used Big Mick's piece on Vietnam. IMO and that of many others who have read it, it should be required reading in every high school.
