Thanks, Sam, for posting the Sassoon poem - a new one to me.
And for writing three of the best poems I've ever read about Vietnam. The specificity of details, the vernacular, the down-home names, the tone, the rhyme - in all three sonnets capture what I remember, all-too-well, about this era.
Yes, I certainly do remember those photos from Life as well as the TV coverage, day after day.
