S. services in Viet Nam,” to the people back home who don't want us over here.” His poem reads: Take a man, then put him alone, put him 12,000 miles away from home. Empty his heart of all but blood, make him live in sweat and mud. This is the way I have to live, and my soul to the devil I give. But you don’t know what it’s like over here: you have your parties and drink your beer. You have a ball without really trying, while over here your boys are dying. You burn your draft cards, march at dawn, plant your signs on the White House lawn. You all want to ban the bomb, there’s no real war in Viet Nam.

Use your drugs and have your fun and, then refuse to carry a gun. There’s nothing else for you to do, and I’m supposed to die for you! There’s one thing that you don’t know and that’s just where I think that you should go. I’m already here and it’s too late; I’ve traded all my love for hate! Til hate you till the day I die; you made my buddy cry. I saw his arm a bloody shred, I heard them say “this one’s dead.” It’s a large price to have to pay, not to live another day. He had the guts to fight and die, but by him dying what did he buy? By him dying, your life he buys. But who cares if a soldier dies? His wife does, his parents and maybe his sons, but they’re about the only ones.” Other Business Mrs. Blanche Kline read a thank you letter from the auxiliary’s Knightstown boy, Rex Williams, for his graduation gift. The youth also added he will be entering the service in the fall. Mrs. Betty Dust reported poppy days were a huge success and extended her appreciation t« all concerned.
