The song "I'm Coming Home" (Othello, Larry) (LPS # R-1003). Label based in Bellingham, Washington state. Unknown artist. Plight of soldier, narrated in first person. Soldier missed his sweetheart, looked forward to the end of war when "Vietnam will be a faded memory". "I'm coming home to you after my job is through And Vietnam will be a faded memory I'm coming home to stay, it's going to be that way Our love was meant to be, please my love wait for me Someday you'll know how our love will grow When they say it's all over here Let our hearts ring out, oh let us sing and shout We have the right to feel we can love for real Our love will stay so real...and you'll be mine Just wait and see, just wait and see"
