If You Are Able
If you are able,
save them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind. Major Michael David O'Donnell Written 1 January 1970 MIA 24 March 1970 Dak To, Vietnam http://www.virtualwall.org/do/OdonnellMD01a.htm Mike |

No problem Tom. It is a very touching poem even for someone who wasn't there, like myself.
