This song is about Vietnam. Ive always known that and have listened to it many times. But this time was different. This time it took my breath away. My God. It’s because this time I know a vet personally. He screams in complete terror every single night because he still has nightmares about Vietnam. These dreams are so bad that his mind has to block them completely out before he can even wake up. Hes not even able to recall what he has just dreamed about. He was just a kid when he got a post card in the mail. It was his 18th birthday. It said greetings and salutations you’ve just been inducted into the United States Army. Seven days later he was dropped into the middle of a Vietnam battle field. They just gave him a gun and told him to kill people. I’m talking about a combat Veteran with three Purple Hearts. Someone that was basically still just a kid that had to throw hand grenades into buildings that he knew only women and children were in. He said the Vietnamese women had never seen marshmallows before. That they were incredibly attentive.

Wow. I’m sorry. Im just shook. I think it’s important to acknowledge. Mad respect❤️😭

One more thing then I’ll stop. He said that he’s always able to tell anytime he crosses paths with another Vietnam vet just because of a look he sees in their eyes.

Never noticed it when he was still alive, i was 7/8.
Probably it was un-noticeable when he was with me.
But my Granny still alive and told what he went through in '44/ '45.

They deported men from occupied land s to work in Germany.
Some had luck and ended on the country side with a nice family.
He was taken to just behind the Russia front line,
carried human parts.

During bombardement s, German s had bunkers. They sat inside,
my Granddad was Dutch who where allowed to sit in the entrance.
People German s saw as inferior races. Had to endure it outside.
After which body part s/ wounded had to be transported.

When he came back he was a different man. Died way to young.
Like right now would he be me, he didn t get older then i am atm.
He died at 52. Barely got to know him. :cry: Pacifisme Global.

Then maybe this Earth could be Heaven, instead of a Hell.
We are a bunch of highly sensitive and humane people, that s sure.
