Parade (6/13/86) by John Feddeler

I went to 'Nam in '67,
Came home in '68.
Today the city gave
A welcome home parade,
18 years too late.

"These vets are heroes, every one;
They are men we're proud to know."
No one ever told me that
18 years ago.

Right on!
Right on Viet Nam Vet brother. It's getting harder & harder to find anyone who's been to Nam. Working Construction, I was the only one. Cam Rang Bay 68-69. 44c20 eng. repair heavy equip. Get on to goggle earth & see how the small villages has changed. Our compound now a park. Air fields, abandon. Etc. Write on brother John!

Thanks for the contact
There's a very good book of poetry by Vietnam
vets called "Winning Hearts And Minds." If you
haven't read it, check it out.
