16 Mar 2001 Gerald Duane Sack gave his life in a land of strife. Leaving behind a wife and a son to never hold or see dying so others might be free. Let us never forget our men and women who served during the Viet Nam conflict ... some gave all and all gave some. I know Gary was not a Green Beret but the song is beautiful and so appropriate. Gary left behind family and friends who would give anything to have him home. Yet they go on and some day they will meet again at Heaven's Gate. "LETTER FROM A CARING SOUL" THANK YOU TO ALL THE BOYS, WHO WENT OFF TO WAR. NO FANFARE, NO NOISE, JUST GOT ON A PLANE TO RIDE, TO A FOREIGN WAR WHERE THEY COULD DIE, LOSE A LEG, ARM, BE IGNORED. WE BROUGHT BACK OUR HOSTAGES FROM IRAN, CHEERED THEM GAVE THEM A CLAPPING HAND. BUT OUR BOYS FROM NAM, WE MADE THEM FEEL DISGRACED, AND TURNED OUR FACE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY, WHEN ALL WE HAD TO SAY "THANK YOU FOR SEEING, A NATION NEEDED FREEING." BUT NO ! WE DIDN'T SEE, THAT ANOTHER HUMAN NEEDED TO BE FREE. OUR POLITICIANS WERE IN A RUSH, TO KEEP IT ALL HUSHED. SO WE DIDN'T MAKE THEM HEROES, TO MANY THEY WERE ZEROES.
