My Dad is a retired Marine, He fought in Vietnam and felt the spit that you talked about in your poem from a man while trying to defend the White House after fighting in Vietnam. He went on many deployments including Japan, Puerto Rico, and the Medditerianian. He managed to raise four children on his military pay, yet there was no complaining from my Mom or him. He fought and defended this country for twenty years. He taught us to love our country and I am proud to say that I am an American and a United States Marine Corp Child!
