We know we have Vietnam Vets who are members of DSM's. Any members in The U.S. Army's 25th Infantry Division, nicknamed "Tropic Lightning".




THE YEARS OTHERS KNEW AS YOUTH, "WE" SPENT LEARNING THE MEANING OF DEATH.


THE TIMES OTHERS SPENT LEARNING TO LOVE, "WE" PASSED HOPING TO LIVE THROUGH ENDLESS NIGHTS.


THE MOMENTS OTHERS REMEMBER AS LAUGHS IN THE CLASSROOMS, "WE" REMEMBER AS TERROR IN THE JUNGLES.


THE INSTANTS OF PLEASURE TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY OTHERS, "WE" REMEMBER AS FORGOTTEN HOPES-LONG AGO CRUSHED BY THE REALITY OF WAR.


THE UNFULFILLED DREAMS OF OTHERS ARE YET TO BE THOUGHT BY "US" "SINCE WE ARE IN SEARCH OF OUR ELUSIVE YOUTH, LOOKING FOR YEARS LOST IN COMBAT, WHICH ARE NO MORE AND WILL NEVER BE.
