Verses on Vietnam: 1968

I was wounded twice in Vietnam: The Bloodiest Year.
I am a Combat Wounded-twice-Disabled Vietnam Vet.
I cheated Death so many times...
I never really left Vietnam - My left hand is still there.
Vietnam Veteran: Don't let the gray hair fool you -- We can still kick ass.
When I die, I'll go to Heaven - since I've already spent my time in Hell.
Tet Offensive - Vietnam 1968....
