A Poem For You, the Vietnam Veteran. This poem was brought by Ms. Messer and distributed among those
who attended the Vietnam Veterans Reunion, paid for with her own money and written from the heart. For those of you
who missed it, here is her poem for you:
In Honor of the Vietnam Veterans
I NEED TO SAY THANK YOU
By Delphine Messer
I need to say THANK YOU
For what you have done
And what you have given
For me and everyone.
The years have gone by
But the memories are still there
Of what you have gone through
And no, it was not fair.
You did what was ordered
You served this country well
My heart goes out to you
You went through living hell.
There was no "heroes welcome"
No "welcome home" you had
And for that I am so sorry
It still makes me very sad.
You deserved to be honored
The minute you stepped off the plane
Because you are a "hero"
In my heart you will remain.
Yes, many years have gone by
I hope it's not too late to say
THANK YOU for your service
GOD be with YOU every day.
