Warrior passed
VN vet (MAAG 1961-63) that practically raised me passed this week of cancer.
Thought you might appreciate his epitaph.
SPIRIT
Man gets tired
Spirit don't
Man surrenders
Spirit won't
Man crawls
Spirit flies
Spirit lives when man dies
Man seems
Spirit is
Man dreams
Spirit lives
Man is tied, bound, torn
Spirit is free
What spirit is man can be!
RIP Butch
BK
