Black April American Vietnamese Friendship Poem by Thanh-Thanh NhuanLe

Hi! Air Force comrades-in-arms!
At this get-together with Advisors, how happy to rejoice!
Facing Human Rights and Religious Freedom alarms,
"Democracy For Vietnam! " will be our common voice.
***

Hands shake, faces exult, lips bloom with a bright smile,
American-Vietnamese brotherhood boosts family ties.
Looking back on the old country, all tongues taste bitter bile;
Reminiscing the past times, each heart dolorously cries.
Democracy is dreamt to reign in our native nation;
Liberty is wished to flourish throughout our beloved land.
We, Air Force and Advisors, express our expectation
Of restoring a peaceful Vietnam, each lending a hand.
