I am a Veteran of the Vietnam War; I was a medic during my tour in Vietnam. My experiences while in Vietnam and after I returned home caused me to examine my feelings or lack of feeling today. I have had many health problems since I returned home from Vietnam possibly due to Agent Orange Exposure. Since I receive no help from the Veterans Administration I still consider my body to be fighting the Vietnam War. I am writing now because I feel an urgency to leave something of myself behind. I feel my experiences put into words, when possible, can help you face your own dark deeds.

Differences In Man And Ice One is cold but one is colder. Each has formed with more or less order. Both can melt with the right holder. Each last less as they get older. But the ice turns soft and the man turns hard.

Tribute To Mulder And Scully Specks of Dusk floating in the air fall to earth who knows where. Only one brings light to bear; on the particles in the air What can this substance be; this dust floating around you and me? Look closely at the dust you see. For it turns out to be you and me!
