allyn: Veteran's Day
- 11/11/09 04:52 AM
Foreword: On this Veteran's day I am including a poem I wrote about forty years ago. To put this into context, I had recently returned from a tour of Viet Nam where I served as a combat medic with a Marine Infantry company. I was working and going to college, found that one's chances of getting a job were better if no one knew of your service. In fact, at the ripe age of 23, I was starting my junior year at the University of Calif. at San Diego. I had transferred into this bastion of liberalism as a pre med … (4 comments)

This is my first Post to Active Rain. I've been selling real estate for over ten years now in a rural market that is very seasonable--very busy in the Spring, Summer and early Fall, pretty dead in the Winter.
