Better run through the jungle........

So I was watching Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam' again last night and I had forgot about one of the letters they read, all the letters were beautiful in their own way but for some reason I really lik this on:

Quote:

October 20, 1966
Dear Aunt Fannie,
This morning my platoon and I were finishing up a three-day patrol.Struggling over steep hills covered with hedgerows, trees, and generally impenetrable jungle, one of my men turned to me and pointed a hand, filled with cuts and scratches, at a rather distinguished-looking plant with soft red flowers waving gaily in the downpour (which had been going on ever since the patrol began) and said, "That is the first plant I have seen today which didn't have thorns on it."I immediately thought of you.

The plant, and the hill upon which it grew, was also representative of Vietnam.It is a country of thorns and cuts, of guns and marauding, of little hope and of great failure.Yet in the midst of it all, a beautiful thought, gesture, and even person can arise among it waving bravely at the death that pours down upon it.Some day this hill will be burned by napalm, and the red flower will crackle up and die among the thorns.So what was the use of it living and being a beauty among the beasts, if it must, in the end, die because of them, and with them?This is a question which is answered by Gertrude Stein's "A rose is a rose is a rose."You are what you are what you are.Whether you believe in God, fate, or the crumbling cookie, elements are so mixed in a being that make him what he is; his salvation from the thorns around him lies in the fact that he existed at all, in his very own personality.There once was a time when the Jewish idea of heaven and hell was the thoughts and opinions people had of you after you died.But what if the plant was on an isolated hill and was never seen by anyone?That is like the question of whether the falling tree makes a sound in the forest primeval when no one is there to hear it.It makes a sound, and the plant was beautiful and the thought was kind, and the person was humane, and distinguished and brave, not merely because other people recognized it as such, but because it is, and it is.

The flower will always live in the memory of a tired wet marine, and has thus achieved a sort of immortality.But even if we had never gone on that hill, it would still be a distinguished, soft, red, thornless flower growing among the cutting, scratching plants, and that in itself is its own reward.

Love,

Sandy

uncle phil · 08-06-2007, 01:03 PM

great letter, SJ...

that was written 11 months before i came to DaNang...

silent_jay · 08-07-2007, 09:41 AM

Thanks Phil, I've always enjoyed that letter, the follow-up to the letter, the 2LT was killed 3 weeks after writing this letter:

Quote:

On 11 November 1966, less than three weeks after he wrote this letter to his great-aunt Mrs. Louis Adoue, Marine 2Lt. Marion Lee Kempner, from Galveston, Texas, was killed by a mine explosion near Tien Phu.After he disarmed one mine, another was tripped by one of his men.Although wounded by shrapnel, Lt. Kempner ordered the corpsman to take care of the other wounded man first.He died aboard a medevac en route to the hospital.He was 24 years old.(Dear America Letters Home from Vietnam p.131-133)

DaNang, you wre right in the middle of it. Thanks for all you did over there Phil, it is greatly apprciated, that's something people who served in Vietnam didn't or haven't heard enough of since they came back to the world.

uncle phil · 08-07-2007, 01:02 PM
