VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL"If you are able, save for them a
place inside of you and save one
backward glance when you are leaving
for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you loved
them, though you may or may not have
always. Take what they have taught
you with their dying and keep it with
your own.
And in that time when men decide
and feel safe to call the war insane, take
one moment to embrace those gentle
heroes you left behind."
