Ballad of The Green Berets
This song by the late SSGT Barry Sadler...that sold millions, always come to mind when I think of my late, joyful brother Eugene Giannunzio.
He made it into the difficult Green Berets, but was shot and left for dead by the Viet Cong.
Somehow he survived but his life was not the same.
He did receive a full disability, but roamed the country and we only saw him every few years when he would stop by to stay.
He would leave (never wanted to say goodbye to anyone), I think because he saw so much death of his fellow soldiers and others.
I have never liked war, but we need to honor the ones that are and have been brave enough to serve.
Joe
