News And Views BY REV. WALLACE CRUMLIN On August 8, Sgt. Cooke wrote a letter of appreciation to Mrs. Parnella Jones, his former high school teacher. While thanking her for the wonderful instruction and inspiration he received as a student of Bell Street, Sgt. Cooke composed the following poem and expressed the desire to have it published in the Clinton Chroni cle. JUST THINKING You know last night while standing guard in my foxhole, I thought - I’ll write a poem, And tell it like it really is, to all the folks back home. You folks read all the papers and watch the TV shows, But even with all of that, not one of you really knows. You hear the good side of all our battles, the enemies we kill, But you’ve never seen a buddy fall, while charging up a hill. At home you walk down sidewalks, or in a crowded mall, But here brush on our trail is so thick, we have to crawl. Back stateside you have bridges built to go across a river, But here in Nam we walk right in, and when its cold we shiver. You’ve got air conditioners there, to cool your shop or den, But over here it’s so hot, we think it’s hell we’re in. At home you take your wife or girl, go out and dance all night, But over here we standout guard sometime even stiff with fright. Every day we hump with a ruck sack on our back. The ground is our bed, poncho with poncho lin ers is our cover, and the ruck sack is our pillow. Have you looked around and seen the many things you’ve got, or once stopped to think about the many things we’ve not. You have cold beer and water, you have hot meals to eat, Any one of those to us, would really be a treat. And every day you take a walk down life’s easy path, But I'll bet you’ve never had to go a month without a bath. To you a bath is water hot enough to make it steam, To us it’s nothing more than a leech- infested stream. You have no doubt been scared enough, to think the end was near, But I’ll bet you’ve not had to live, a whole year in total foar.* < • ' FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 22nd day of September, 1969, we will render a final account of my acts and doings as Executors of the estate of Leeanna B.
