    About this ebook

    This collection includes some of
    Angel Dunworth's most  noted poems
    and award winning artwork. It was
    created in her youth and shows
    how she has changed over the years.
    Some of the more notable poems are
    now archived to go into the
    Vietnam Museum when it is built.
    This anthology is to honor not only the
    fallen warriors in her family but as a
    tribute to every person who ever fought
    or fell for a freedom. To all those who
    serve, THANK YOU!
    And to every Gold-Star
    mother or war-orphan
    we hold you high.

      The Vietnam Experience

      ––––––––

      The following works were displayed at the Vietnam Wall, in war museums published in vet newspapers read at Memorial Day Parades.

      Roses in Arlington

      The roses in Arlington,

      No whispers gave speak,

      To caress of the tears,

      Adorning her cheeks.

      The gardenias said nothing,

      Of whom death had stung,

      Nor a kiss to remind her,

      Of when he was young.

      No lilies
