Vietnam "A Tribute to Milford Homer Wensel & All Who Served" by Denny Wensel My brother Milford Homer Wensel
gave his life in Vietnam in June of 1969 and I always held him and
those who served in very high gratitude for their service. I
even wrote a little something about it.
Proudly old glory waved in their
hearts
One by
one they were drafted
They
came from all walks of life
East,west, north and south from our citys and
hills
Men and
women didn't know what bravery really was
But
soon they would find out
Took up
arms to defend what was right
No
matter what they had to face they did the fight
family,friends they would leave behind
Young
men and women growing up real fast
They
didn't have time to enjoy life like others would
But
they were willing to give theirs
Though
the hills and swamps they would fight
Everyone till their last breath if necessary
They
would become friend,family and comrade's
Some
would stand by holding one and crying as he or she
dies
A bond
for life they would make with one another
A bond
that nothing or no one would take
These are young men and women. They
would give all and some would fall there
Yes
they stood in front of our flag {not behind it}
And the
ones it made it back home
They be
the ones to tell you the real heroes died there
But I'm
telling you they all were
Every
men and women that carried memories of Vietnam
Some
good,some bad and some they would just like to forget
So if
you are like me stand up and be proud of the men and women that
made you free
Because
they were the real ones it fought for freedom
