TRADITIONAL VETERAN’S SONG
Ervin Keeswood, 1986 – When we were returning home after the 1986 Denver March Powwow, in the vicinity of Wolf Creek Pass, this song was given to us by the spirits. This is our veterans’ traditional song for Vietnam veterans.

LYRICS
He went to Vietnam. He went to Vietnam.
He went to Vietnam to fight for us.
He has come back. Move aside.
Move over! Here he comes.
Honor him.
