Vietnam combat veteran’s war remembrance from his book “Di Di Mau”

      I saw their faces
Our eyes locked together
   Their uniform pockets
            Had
 Letters and Photos
 Family and Friends
    Same as mine
Close to our hearts
         IDs too
  They were 19
     So was I
  We were the same
I saw the guys I killed
   I had killed me
