Take what they have left
and what they have taught you with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes
you left behind. - Major Michael Davis O'Donnell (January 1970. Dak To; Vietnam, Republic Of) "The flames are all long gone
But the pain lingers on...."
