Bury Me with Soldiers

Father Charles R. Fink, a Roman Catholic priest of St. Philip Neri’s Church in Northport, New York, served in Vietnam from March 1969-March 1970 as a sergeant in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade.

Daniel Seidenberg, U.S. Army Ret., of Santa Barbara, served alongside Father Fink and sends his poem to commemorate Memorial Day.

I’ve played a lot of roles in life;

I’ve met a lot of men.
