A Review from "The Iron Bank of BraavosOpen in new Window.!


Hi Bikerider

My name is Lyn, I am one of the sly foxes.

Title: The Rain Just Kept Falling

First Impression: I remember when my uncle went to Nam, he was the never same after being there. I never understood why he talked about the rain and how those days were the best. Course I was youngster and he didn't explain a lot to me. Your story did and I remember his conversation with my Mom.

What needs your attention: Not a thing.

What part I liked best: New Guy, is also familiar because my uncle drinking with my father after us kids were supposed to be in bed talked about not wanting to know the new guys name because it was easier to bury someone you didn't know.

McCarthy was an exception, he looked out for the new guy. And his parting gift a special act of kindness that was remembered long afterwards. By the looks of the picture, the ring still holds a special fondness for McCarthy.

Overall impression: This story gives those of us who didn't serve in Nam a glimpse into a soldier's life and what they faced without going into the gory aspects of war.
