"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.
Be not ashamed to say you loved them,
though you may or may not have always.

Take what they have left and what they have taught
you with their dying, and keep it with your own.
And in that day when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes you left behind".

Major Michael O'Donnell

O'Donnell, a helicopter pilot, was declared
Missing in Action on March 24, 1970,
