If you are Able...
Save for 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 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 O'Donnell,
Dak To, RVN, 1 January 1970
