You are Remembered, Not Forgotten
I remember you in High School. Strutting down the corridors in your black pants and white shirt; the school's "tough guy" uniform. People don't forget you; you stood out in a crowd. Confident, self-assured, in control.
I didn't know you went to Nam, didn't know you died, till years later, reading a school reunion flyer.
You went early after high school, unafraid, I'm sure.
You gave all at your country's call. I'm sure they knew you were the man for the job.
You are remembered.
