A poem by Major Michael Davis O'Donnell, 1 January 1970, Dak To, Vietnam
http://www.virtualwall.org/do/OdonnellMD01a.htm
http://www.angelfire.com/ma4/jboucher/pow1.htm Major O'Donnell was listed as MIA while piloting a helicopter on a mission in Cambodia on 24 March 1970. His remains were recovered and interned at Arlington National Cemetery on 16 August 2001. A gentle hero who gave his life for an undeserving country. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you are able, save 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 left and 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. Major Michael Davis O'Donnell 1 January 1970 Dak To, Vietnam
