I can still see their faces, late at night, all alone with my dreams.
I can still hear their laughter. I can still hear their screams.
Didn’t they do right by you?
Didn’t they do all they could do?
Tell me, didn’t they? Didn’t they do right by you?

Powerful poem shared by writer, blogger, and Vietnam Vet Tim Dittmer. If you’re not following him, I recommend it and his book The Valley Walker.

Very powerful words. Because of your service, we found freedom in this country after spending 20 years of war in Vietnam. Freedom is not free. Just want to say thank you and all of your friends who served and died in Vietnam.
