Wayne

Wayne was a scrawny little kid growing up on Montrose Avenue in Lafayette Louisiana.

‎‎

Back in the day, most young men were drafted in the army. Some unfortunate was sent in the Marines. Wayne was one of those.

‎‎

He was issued 03 11 for his MOS. He was a grunt in the US Marine Corps during the worst time of the conflict. And somehow managed to survive.

‎‎

Wayne returned to Lafayette at a time there was no support for veterans.

‎‎

The gooks didn’t take his life. He took his own.

‎‎

All gave some—some gave all.
