Going Back country as flag
Would we journey back to Nam for one hundred of our men;
or better yet, to seek and bring home all those one hundred ten
who are thought to still be in the Central Highlands there
as loved ones �cross our nation still count sheep in despair?

Well, notice came down this day; such efforts will soon resume
once U.S. officials and Vietnamese meet in the city of Pleiku
review their cases and speak with some who might shed a clue
on the whereabouts of our brave men who died for me and you.

Count the lost soldiers, the cost and the fresh unbidden tears
that still remain with us and will throughout the future years;
Count all of our missing kin worthy, not omitting even one son,
lest we go back on a promise... to not leave behind a single one.
