There is a lot to despise about the running of the Vietnam war. The veterans should be proud they chose to serve. I am, and would again. Welcome home my brothers and sisters on his recognition day.
Vietnam Veterans Day
By Franklin Price
3/29/2019
Today is Viet veterans day
For a war so long ago
Recognition long delayed
For veterans that I know
We did not run to Canada
Hide in a college dorm
The dangers of that far off place
Became the daily norm
Our country called and off we went
Many drafted, many joined
When we returned from serving
By our country were purloined
We did not burn our draft cards
Even though we were despised
The wall contains the names we lost
On this day we're recognized
Do not need this recognition
To know we did what's right
When our country needed us
We went and joined the fight
