TO A GREAT POINT MAN WHO DIED A HERO


William (Buck) Austin

It's been almost 33 years that your life was taken from you in an ambush.
You have not been forgotten and you will be in our hearts forever.

No One Died Alone

In the jungle of my heart,
No one died alone ~
No one died in pain and fear
Thinking of his home.

In the graveyards of my memory
Each one has a cross ~
For every one who perished there
I seem to feel the loss.

Every brother, sister,
Father, son ~
They all belonged to
Everyone ~

And in the shadows of the night
When all is dark and calm ~
I say "goodnight" to all of those
Who served in Vietnam.



Though I never met him, he was my great uncle.
I thought I would show my respect by giving this poem.

From his greatniece,
Tabitha Millsaps
and his niece,
Sharon (Austin) Hicks
