To tides for turning
and holding beauty on the horizon:
the unfolding of our hearts and minds for a time.
Thank you, American Veterans,

I saw a friend I hadn't seen,
for quite some time, today

She took my hand and said to me
that life had gone her way

But as she spoke, I saw her eyes
move quickly from my gaze

I looked again and saw the pain
shrouded in the haze

Of years and tears and hopes of love
that never seemed to stay

Quite long enough to be worth the cost
of what she had to pay.

Out of Courage

Out of loyalty,
      we said yes when many were saying "Hell no."

Out of duty,
      we sweat and bled while many called us killers.

Out of honor,
      we died while many cursed our existence.

Out of pride,
      we came home tired but unbeaten,
      assured our actions were just.

Out of disillusionment,
      we, each in our own way, dealt with the pain
      of misunderstanding from our own generation.

Out of anger,
      we fought, bled and died once again
      trying to fit in to the new America.

Out of courage,
      we continued to believe in the righteousness of
      our sacrifice and our fraternal brotherhood.

Out of experience,
      we alone can claim the honor, glory and virtue
      of our efforts.
            Only we, the survivors, history and God will ever
            know the real truth about that Southeast Asian
            war fought not so long ago
            but not so very far away.

Thanks Anne and Rod for some wonderful pages. With help from folks like you we just might be heard in Washington and force our elected officials to do something about bringing our boys home where they belong.
My best,
Doc
