The Things They Carried

The things that soliders carried were not only the objects such as a M-16 or PRC-25 radio that weight 26 pounds. It wasn't just the physical appareance it was the emotions that they all carried. Everyone had them, even the toughest and baddest of us all. We all had something that nobody knows. It's like a big heavy weight that we have to carry until we fall to the ground dead and bury. I guess the saying "take it to the grave" is true.
