Dear Paul Cameron,
We are students from Aragon High School who are reading a Vietnam War story. We read your poem, Dog Soldiers, and wanted to let you know how we felt about it. We think it is very honorable that you think about others in the war, specifically animals. It is amazing how war can scar animals, not only people. We feel like your poem is the first to acknowledge the damage war can do to animals. It was very touching to read and inspiring. While we continue reading our English book, we will remember that the war is affecting more than people. As of being in the war, we wonder if other soldiers such as yourself also think about animals, dogs, and the way you have. It is good to know that dog handlers are honored for what they do in war. Before your poem, we didn’t know that dog’s were involved in the war. We deeply appreciate your poem.
Sincerely,
Amanda and Alex
