Let's not forget the wife's at home
the Mothers and Dads
The children
It was hard on Mom
Especially my younger Sister
Mom had to sign a release
An only son
Sis was only three
She could not understand me leaving
It was easy for me
My decision was made with Grandpa
For me it was just what you do
In the words of President Kennedy
"Ask not what your country does for you.
But what you can do for your country."
But what I find hard to understand
the disrespect given those who served in Vietnam
Peace is a fragile thing
It isn't gained by those staying at home smoking dope
and standing in parades protesting
Praise those man and woman who guard the flag of freedom
