Truth
“When you fight, you don't fight for abstract values like the flag, or the
nation, or democracy. You fight for your buddy. You fight to keep him alive,
and he fights to keep you alive, and you go on that way, day after day, battle
after battle. And when one of your buddies dies, something inside you dies
as well. But you go on. You fight, so that his death isn't meaningless, his
sacrifice isn't for nothing.”
Richard Marcinko
These words of Richard Marciko resonate deep within me. After thirty seven years, The faces of those I lost come to me unbidden. Others look at a field and treeline and see beauty. I see NVA...and death.
