Children Honor Vietnam Veterans
These poems were written by students at Columbia Jr. High School specially for Vietnam veterans. I spoke to the principal at the school and he gave me permission to post them on this site remembering the Vietnam veterans.
He Can Stand Tall By Rafael Molinari, grade 9 A boy of eighteen stepped up to the desk It was not ordinary, it was not like the rest It came with a sign, and a soldier behind Your country needs you enlist today He gave them his word, and he gave them his sign. Off he went to a world far away One filled with danger, death, every step of the way It is sad a boy leaving home. Your country needs you even when you feel alone He's not a boy anymore, not like before He is a man who stepped up to the call The Pacific, Korea , and Viet Nam He is my grandfather, he can stand tall We Will Remember By Caitlin Schille, grade 8 We remember The war to end all wars Rat-infested trenches The glorious music of Armistice. We remember A day which will live on in infamy The brutal, horrifying battles The happy homecoming. We remember The tense, terrifying jungles of Vietnam The hateful riots The bittersweet end. We know Of the tyrannical protests The violent rebels The tearful, joyous returns. We will remember. Raggedy Ann |
