" The Age in my Eyes" By Chaplain Howard Flexer
. . Contributed By Chaplain Howard Flexer On Monday, October 27, 2003
"The age in my Eyes" As I look in the mirror I've seen more than most see. I see a man only 17 who was now a U.S. Marine! A boy just 12 weeks ago, but as a Marine he was a man. I see a man who learned how to fight for his life and the lives of his fellow Marines. He was not old enough to drink or even vote in his country. A man who if needed would give up his life as short as it was in defense of that same country. I see a Marine who slept in locker rooms in San Diego on nights he had liberty. I see a man who was a disk jockey at the Servicemen's YMCA while he was stationed there during schooling. I see a man who owned just what he could fit in a sea bag. I see a man who was sent to Camp Pendleton to become a field Radio Operator with the artillery. I see a Marine who along with many other Marines was ordered to get ready to ship out in 48 hours. As we packed up our equipment we wondered to where. I do not remember Vietnam being a big thing back then. As we prepared we could not let anyone know on the outside. A Marine who drove down to San Diego to board the APA 27 in a group called RLT 7. After many weeks at sea as I sometimes slept in the bow Gun turret. Then early one morning I saw the faint lights of Hawaii. As we entered Pearl Harbor we stood at attention as we passed the US Arizona. During our stay I took time to visit the Arizona Memorial. I see a Man every much moved by just being there to honor those who allowed me to grow up free. I see a man still wondering where we would end up even though word got around that place was Vietnam. We arrived in Okinawa and depart the ship the Marine Corps way over the side and landed on White Beach as earlier Marines did in WW II only not under fire. I see a man off on the LST 1161 to Vietnam over the South China Sea after more training. As the ship hit the beach in Vietnam we departed Lock & loaded ready to put all that training to use. I found myself in Combat the very next day as these eyes observed its first taste of what real combat was. From that day till the flight out of Vietnam these eyes had aged more that my body had. Now as I look in the mirror I see that my body has caught up with these eyes. These eyes know all too well that it's not how long we live to see, but how much those eyes see.

The Wall
. . Contributed By Lee On Sunday, November 21, 2004
Went to see the Wall today. The replica was here on tour.Went early in the morning 'cause it's a private thing. There were three or four others there too, but we just nodded, didn't speak, didn't have to, we all knew. Kinda hard to see the names with the cold and wind, my eyes kept watering . Yeah I'm sure it must have been the wind, but the wind was nothing compared to the hurricane power of those names engraved on those panels, and the gifts and notes, left in rememberance. Vaya con Dios cousin. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, been there with ya, but I'll never forget.
