These war poems are based on my experiences during the 1972 Easter Invasion of Vietnam. I was a medic and aircrewman working for MACVSOG and the CIA. These included providing support during the battle of An Loc, the largest set piece battle of the entire war. My focus is on the human aspects of war and their effects on individuals.
