Fannieson had his facts wrong he was not a Vietnam vet.. I ask him to explain himself he apologised to me when he should have to all of you. Took his poem down and left...Wannabes after the fact?

I would enter but I do not have a new poem about our troops. Will not be able to come up with something in the amount of time left in the contest. Wished it was a few days longer.
