The Family
When the war came to our country, my husband traveled south to the battlefields. Our son followed suit. Two years later it was my turn to take the long trail from Hanoi to the front line, I was hoping for news of my Family.
Chapter 3:
The Invasion
The Teufel Hunden led the invasion. They carried guns and grenades, and were trailed by more troops, trucks, tanks, and artillery to bear.
There were gunboats and battleships, bombers and jets.
There were a range of weapons-as well as “Agent Orange”.
Chapter 4:
The War
On a visit to San Francisco back in the 1970ths I heard about the war in Vietnam from Bill, Bill was a Red Neck from the deep South, who kept his uniform in the wardrobe and slept with his guns under the mattress. Bill loved to cook. I was proud to have met him!
Ernest came from a small town called Gary in Indiana. We hooked up in Chicago . Ernest was a veteran from Vietnam while in Chicago every day he practiced his martial arts. Not long after we moved to New York, parting in New York-Ernest went to Harlem I went to the Catskills!
Some soldiers returning from Vietnam had plenty to say about stopping the War. Students died protesting (God Bless Them). All that changed in January 13th, 1993 with the
release of the POW/MIA’S REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE ON POW/MIA AFFAIRS. UNITED STATES SENATE. Which stated that all POW/MIA’S WERE DEAD. The report condemned the POW and the returned veterans from VietnamTO A LIFE OF DARKNESS . Vietnam had no need to guard there Prisoners because America had declared they were dead. For Victorious Vietnam the January 13th report validated what they had said about the POW/MIA’S.
Soldiers returning from Vietnam who knew POW had been Abandoned had to be quiet about what they had to say.
The 1,233 page Report of the United States Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs United States Senate which could have been put on the back of a stamp saying (Are all dead - R.I.P.)
No matter where you put it in your head you know they lied.
