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.* < • '

Some of you folks think you are
having a hard time, but you have
got it easy compared to us across
the sea, But all any soldier asks
of you, is, “Please remember
me.”
