Delta Blue

by Russell G. Robison

"I walked among Giants...and they called me brother... My words can never express our awe of them..." Poetry dedicated to the men and women who served with the author during his 3 tours in Vietnam. I was stationed at a naval support base in the Mekong Delta that worked with the Mobile Riverine Force (USN), and the 9th. Infantry (US.Army).

The battle scarred ships bore silent testimony to the fierceness of their struggles. They were our heroes, we watched them take the fight to the enemy at a heavy price.
