LEWIS B. PULLER, JR., AGE 48, DIES BY
HIS OWN HAND --
A CASUALTY OF THE WAR.
By Constance Lee Menefee
Faces of friends rise like tears,
as I read the headline;
should I phone them all, tonight?
see if any called in fire
on his own position, too?
Overrun....but not going down
easy.
Will we now
build monuments to the men
who lost their lives,
but did not die,
in Viet Nam?
