Drawing by Ung Bun-Heang (Sacrava)

The author would like to dedicate this poem to all Youths from the Khmer Republic regime who lost their loved ones following the 18 March 1970 event and under the Khmer Rouge regime. The author would also like to dedicate this poem to his comrade-in-arms from battalion 74 who fought in Trav, along National Road No. 2: Brothers Danh Ratana, Thach Serey, Than, Pech, Lay, as well as his friends in the Cambodian Navy: Lorn, Kha, Song, Nak, Soy, Oeun, Vantha, Ussara... If there is indeed a next life, may we become friends again!
