Year My Mind Disappeared 1969

Sticks with poison chopper blades spinning Descending Dust off to the ground Yellow smoke alerting grenades launching Red cross landing AK’s shooting Bloody men lifted aboard Bandages dripping with blood Traps set bouncing Betty ready C rations ate M-16 awaits Back to fighting a war Naked and afraid When will I wake up from this nightmare Contest: NUDE descending Staircase Sponsored by: John lawless Date Created: 10/09/2019

Awesome take on the challenge, Bobby. The Vietnam War in all its madness... and 1969 being the year of the famous Woodstock... In my head popped the song Stairway to Heaven but that was only release in 1971 - close enough!
