Francis: Another songwriter that comes to mind is Pete Seeger who wrote "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" My two boys were both adopted through Catholic Charities. My oldest son, Billy, was able to find and meet his birth mother. The name of his birth father, Terry Lynn Anton, is on the Wall at Panel 17E Line 119. Terry was 19 when he lost his life in Gia Dinh Province, South Vietnam. He had been "in country" for exactly three months. He was a PFC, C Company, 4th Batallion, 9th Infantry, 25th Infantry Division, USARV. A "Manchu". Now we're buying cars and other knick knacks from the damned place. These boys (and a few girls) were the Best of the Best, gone to soldiers every one and now to graveyards every one. When will we ever learn?
Best Regards, George
