TOPICS:
KEYWORDS: army; brotherhood; brothers; fight; freedom; grunts; infantry; liberty; poems; poetry; soldiers; united; vietnam; war
One good thing is gleaned from war, the fraternal bond of brotherhood...

Something that will never be lost In the storm tempest tossed Forget them never... Remember them forever... "Garland of brothers," http://pzzzz.tripod.com/garland.html

Please read this, then pass this lesson learned of brotherhood on to others...who need to know!

As we stand on the precipice of war with Iraq, though as a Vietnam combat veteran I am against the war, I strongly support our soldiers, and wish them well... I offer this poem, and these two prayers... "Just a Roll of the Dice," http://pzzzz.tripod.com/dice.html "Prayer for the Warriors," http://pzzzz.tripod.com/theprayer.html "A Combat Soldiers Prayer," http://PZZZZ.tripod.com/prayer.html **************** "Vietnam Picture Tour," http://PZZZZ.tripod.com/namtour.html A walk in "the park" grunts called Vietnam, with the 1st Air Cavalry on combat patrol. Experience chilling reality to leave the sweet and sour taste of "the Nam" pungent on your tongue, the smell of "the Nam" acrid in your nostrils, and textures of "the Nam" imbedded in you as though you were walking beside me in combat.

My poignant poems directory, pictures and artwork to show the essence and feeling of war on young "boys next door," http://pzzzz.tripod.com/nampoemsNpix.html

"Realm Of Poetry," http://dreamerzz.tripod.com/SiteMap.html Poems of love and romance, spirituality and meditation, Golden Oldies, comedy, Quests of the regal knight Richard Lionheart to the crusades and seeking the Holy Grail, dueling dragons, frolicking fairies, and comedy....and also links to my site of that foul ogre called war...
