President Obama Honors the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War on Memorial Day

 

VIETNAM WELCOME HOME .

EMPTY WORDS OF ECHO'S PAST,

TOO LONG TO GIVE MEANING NOW. 

THOUGH HIS WORDS WERE HEARTFELT 

THEY NEVER TOUCHED MY SOUL.

TRIBUTE TO THE VIETNAM MEN & WOMAN SOLDIERS,
ALL WHO SERVED &
THE NURSES WHO KEPT OUR SPIRITS HIGH
TO ALL THE SOULS WHO DIED.
TO THE WOUNDED AND ALL WHO SIGHED.

MAY IT NEVER BE AGAIN,
THAT WE NEVER GO TO WAR
WITHOUT
THE PEOPLE'S HEARTS.,
WITH THE WILL TO KNOW
FREEDOM IS OUR FRIEND.
FOR FAILURE IS OUR ENEMY
IF WE LOSE THE WILL TO WIN.
FOR ALL WILL BE LOST,
IF WE FORGET ONE DAY
IT MAY BE OUR SHORES.
FOR THE GREATEST SIN
WAS NOT THE WAR,
THE LACK OF WILL ,
FROM THE PEOPLE'S HEARTS.
FOR ALL IS LOST IF WE LOSE SIGHT,
OF THE SHORES WE STAND ON
MAY ONE DAY BE OURS .

WILL WE HAVE THE WILL TO FIGHT
KNOWING IT'S OUR VERY OWN ?


WAR MADE ME A POET
GOD MADE ME A WRITER
NOW I AM WRITING
HIS STORY
FOR IT IS HIS WORDS
WHICH BRING THE GLORY.

POEATREEMAN

THE ECHO IS EMPTY
FOR THE PAIN
IS STILL THERE
YOU CANNOT
WASH AWAY
THE YEARS
OF TEARS.
THE BLOOD
THAT STAINED
WILL ALWAYS REMAIN.

THE SOULS
WHO WILL NEVER
SEE THEIR HOME.

VIETNAM 1968-1970
