No Keith, I don't. I normally don't care for poetry but when this was sent to me it stood out and touched me. To me it stood for all the servicemen that went about their job and did what they were told to do. After discharge they went about their business and didn't expect to cash in on their sacrifice.
I just saw that you found it Keith, thanks. Recognition needs to be correctly addressed.
I see that the author was Canadian. In 1966 we had a Canadian going through the USMC boot camp after he had served
d 8-10 years as a Canadian Marine. I asked him why joined the USMC and he said tha the wanted to go to Vietnam. The Canadians are TRUE American friends.
