A/N: Dedicated to my deceased Son-in-law John Searfoss)
Vietnam Legacy (revised)
They came home from Vietnam
Bearing nightmares they can’t shake
Reliving all the horror
Is more than they can take
They went to war as children
Not schooled in killing then
And many came home to loved ones
As hardened …broken men
There were no parades and speeches
Or the Laureate creating a poem
There were no important dignitaries
To greet them coming home
Now…many years have come and gone
For some, their lives destroyed
Their minds are stuck in a time warp
And they drink to fill the void
They will never be the same
For their war was different somehow
They deserve to be remembered
So let us salute them now!
We honor and we thank you
Your deserve our respect
For your service and your bravery
And we never will forget!
