For those of you who served in Vietnam, I found this video that has a profound meaning for many a soldier during that unfavorable war... I won't add anymore text, because this video clip speaks volumes...
God bless all those who served there including all those who did not make it home to family...
Amen...

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) the video with" the poem about the men who flew helicopters during the Vietnam war"
Poem by Michael Ryerson
"Mike served in the Marine Corps from 1965 to 1969, arriving in South Vietnam in February of '66 and finally rotating home in March of '68 (25 months, four days and approximately 40 minutes, near as he can figure). He was a forward observer with 5th, 4th and 9th Marines until wounded (twice in the same day!) in May of '67, after which became an operations chief with 9th Marines Regimental Fire Support Coordination Center (FSCC) and finally the S-3 operations chief with Fox Battery, 2nd Battalion, 12th Marines.
To quote Mike, "My work tends to be rather profane; probably not a good mix for general audiences."
