MY COUNTRY'S FLAG CRIED the flag bowed it's bars and wept starry tears as it hung at half-mast for a soldier's years. another youth it had called and another youth had died. I stood and i watched as my country's flag cried. it clothed the drab coffin in it's red, white, and blue, silently protecting the contents for the comfort of a few. it brought strength to some, to others, bitter pride. but as mourners filed by, my country's flag cried. as it rode to the field where the soldier was laid away, the flag recalled the pledge that he used to stand and say, but to war he went and to keep that pledge, he tried. as the guns fired their last salute, my country's flag cried. as taps rang out, it was folded with care, for the soldier's soul a chaplin whispered a prayer. he asked god for peace in this world to abide, and in a grieving mother's arms my country's flag cried!

Daugherty was a great hero. My school is trying to have all the people recognized for what they have done. Please notify me if anyone knows or is related to this man. Thank you.

In remembrance
I remember Don very well. He was a great friend to my family, especially my Brothers, Lonnie and Paul. My Brother Lonnie was Killed in Vietnam that same year on 09/18/1967. Our community lost two great men in '67. I always heard that Don (william) was murdered but could not believe it until now. Was the murderer every brought to justice?

What was the objective?
Sister of William Don Daugherty. Gone, but not forgotten.I think it was all so senseless that so many men and women died there. nothing was accompolished in vietnam except the breaking of a lot of hearts! I don't think of him as a hero. he was just a soldier that someone told to go do a job, and he went to try and do that- as ordered. I can't put my true thoughts on this matter down here because if I did, my comments would not be accepted any more now than they were a few years ago when I put them down!
