Miliary facts copied from the Viet Nam War Memorial / www.thewall-usa.com
Someone I grew up with.  Not someone I knew well.
  A fixture in our neighborhood.  A tough guy.  Not good in school. 
One of the few boys who could beat me in a foot race.
  You joined the Marines, I heard while in High School.
You joined your Maker, I heard while in College.
  You become younger with each year I age.
Just eighteen years on this earth.  Just sixteen days in country.
  "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori."
I think not.
