My dad watched the movie ‘Hamburger Hill’ today on TV and asked if I could find a copy of the poem that’s shown at the end. I have seen a bunch of reviews online that mention the poem, but not the poem itself.
Probably against board rules to post the whole thing here, but if someone has the title and author, or can send me a link to the text, I’d appreciate it.
I know this one! (Though I don’t know the title of the piece.)
In case it isn’t Kosher to post it directly (friggin copyright law), you can find it on this page—it’s by Major Michael Davis O’Donnell. (Starting with "“If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go…”)
Major O’Donnell is an MIA, by the way.
Perfect!
Thanks much.
