Inscription. Dedicated to All
Vietnam Era
Veterans
May 28, 1979 A Man At Eighteen
A lad, a boy, turned just eighteen,
And a man he longs to be,
Four months of hell he just went through.
And now he rates the Marine Corps Blues.
He learns to fight, to maim, to kill.
Even though it's against his will,
He will fight a war for us,
Without a word, a thought, a fuss.
A mother sits and she cries,
For she knows that some must die,
And she prays, "Dear God of mine,
Save my son, just this time."
Then she sobs and holds her head,
She just now learned her son is dead.
