Thought provoking.

Our generation will feel the effects of this war for the rest of our lives. We feel hurt; we feel angry. Most of all, I suppose, we feel betrayed, not only by our leaders' failure to tell us the truth, but by how our servicemen and servicewomen were treated when they returned home. Thank you for remembering.

Thank you for this poem. I am a Viet Nam vet and have been to the wall. You have stirred that ember in my core that never seems to go out. With respect and gratitude.

You have shown how history can so quickly be forgotten, along with the heroes of that age. Each war must be weighed carefully, before we commit to its insanity and the cost of commerce.

Guy, very effective placement of the last line with the rest of the poem. It packs a punch.
