Puff the Magic Dragon (Vietnam Lyrics)
Puff the Magic Dragon, a bird of Cam Ranh bon Came to fly the evening skies In a land called Vietnam.
Puff the Magic Dragon, came across the sea, To write it's name in guns of flame In the heart of hostile SEA
When the grunts are in trouble And Charlie's all around The thoughts may pry into the sky Beneath the fires on the ground
The VC's mortal terror, starts when many cries And the Dragon's breath of sudden death Comes screaming from the sky.
Yes, Puff will still be flying, From one corps down to four Till Charlie's gone and the evening comes It's like the year before.
But I'll remember always, the ground troops grateful cry, When fire is beamed and Charlie screamed At the Dragon in the sky.
Now Dragons live forever and the Puff is just the same, The Gooney Bird will still be heard when Grandpa is my name. It will have to roam the skies with friends ..not with me For I'm going home, no more to roam In a land across the sea.
Puff the Magic Dragon, a bird of Cam Ranh bon Came to fly the evening skies In a land called Vietnam.
Puff the Magic Dragon, came across the sea, To write it's name in guns of flame In the heart of hostile SEA

The Wall Song is a tribute born out of the kindred creative spirits of poet Judy Gorman King and songwriters Mitch Townley and Brad Dunse. Mitch heard Judy present her poem, The Spirit Of The Wall, at a Nashville benefit for homeless veterans in March, 2008. She gave him permission to use the poem as the inspirational foundation for the song. Mitch invited his good friend, singer/songwriter Brad Dunse to collaborate with him and the project was underway. The Wall Song was recorded in Nashville in July, 2008 by artist J.P. Williams and produced by Chip Martin.
We pray that The Wall Song will honor our surviving and fallen heroes of the Vietnam War as well as any who have served in the Armed Forces.

I was looking for some info so I started at page 1 and went through all 30 pages and found what I was after.
I then had to get a pill to calm my nerves.
What a great read
