This is a poem I wrote years ago after seeing the Vietnam monument. It is dedicated to all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for this country.
We have seen heaven.
We have seen hell.
We have felt things
no lips could ever tell.
All the tears I can recall
as they wrote your name on the wall
I'm still there in my mind.
There must be another place in time.
To God my head starts to bow,
because only he can help me now.
Too many good men I've seen fall.
Too many names upon the wall.
-Michael J. Ruhland
