The dark clouds of Vietnam loom over our bowed heads today. 
Those who served and died so that we might have freedom, I pray. 

Those that lay down their life for another, their sacrifice we can not understand. 
No man can have greater love than to lay down his life for his fellow man.

Many were criticized for serving their country and doing what they were told. 
Death crosses party lines, caring not about the politics of old.
