Delta
Blue
The Madness
About the Book:
I
was
stationed at Dong Tam, a Naval Support Base in the Mekong Delta, that worked
with the Mobile Riverine Force (US Navy) and the 9th Infantry (US Army).
Much like a mechanic working at a gas station near an expressway, we fixed the
ships and watched the traffic go by. We saw the price the MRF paid in its
battles with the enemy. The battle scarred boats bore silent testimony to the
fierceness of their struggles. They were our heroes. We watched them
take the fight to the enemy at a heavy price. These poems are about real
people I've met, each with their own story. From the Cobra pilots who
intervened one night in our defense (BIG MAN), to the nurse who couldn't take
any more (REGRETTABLE FLAW), to the loss of too many friends (IN
MEMORIAM...VETERANS DAY), and to SEAL team member (MADDOG). My words can never
express our awe of them. They were my heroes then and will always be.
