Poem by Jimmy Jones

Was the fall of '67 when I took the call

My brothers of many fought for us All

An enemy of many knows not why we come

But fought for their country as we would have done

My Brothers and Sisters will welcome me home

But talk of the War is never condoned

Memories I'll bury as deep as I can

But always are with me where ever I am

Talk of the War is welcome at last

A new generation has ears for the past

We'll sit with our brothers and speak of the dead

Our hearts will grow somber and tears we will shed
