Curious, full of concern
1st day in this war
To live we had to learn
Marched in the sand
Miles it seemed
Soon we take our stand
Sweaty and tired
140 in the shade
Hot and wired
In this land so hot
Away from home
The land God forgot
Back in 1968 we came to Vietnam
The sand was deep and with a full sea bag
On your back, ammo belt, canteen too
M16 at the ready…WE walked into Quangtri
