I WON I WON

ONCE I HAD A SECRET LOVE

DEALING WITH THE DEVIL

WHO IS BOSS?

THE KIDS LAST FIGHT

Poetry Poem

WHAT INSPIRED ME

STARS  AND STRIPES


My new photo
No I have not gotten younger
Just a kid that day far from home
That's Inchon Korea in the background
Noted me being a one stripper
Had one removed a week earlier
Brought a four year old orphan on base
An ambulance run and I was aid medic
The boy was injured badly
But not as claimed by a military truck
Head injury and it turned out tapeworms
Not allowed to bring back civilians
"What would any man do?"
He recovered I care nothing of stripes
Later in the day Sigmund Rhee was missing
Our ambulance was surrounded and being set on fire
In the back our patient a young Korean boy
was shouting in Korean, "Leave my friend alone."
So you see what goes around come around
Somewhere in the world another man is making a decision
Pray in your heart they make the right decision
War is not an easy game to play like in the movies
