“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 left and what they 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
