"He Ain't Heavy"A Poem by Leo FrenchMoments serving in the Vietnam struggle which included American soldiers.[ A Tribute To The Song Group "The Hollies" ] Good or bad, right or wrong you're here to face Viet Cong. Ever stood by an oven door and that heat caming pouring out? Welcome To Vietnam and find out what we're about. It's good you like weapons cause 2nd Admentment is everyday. You get to know solders all over the USA traveling along the way. Have you felt stress-No I mean stress everyday? Did you just hear somneone chamber a round, it has a distinct sound. The villagers you've worked next to all day, now watching you through The Bob-wires perimeter now watching you so now what you've got to say? The word came down be at your post it's gonna get serious no joke. It sounded like a whistle I couldn't see, that Bullitt will get your attention believe me. Faced with fear tall are short they stepped up to fighting it has to be. If one goes down that anyone can see that's when they're Not Heavy to you are me.
