Annotation
Serviceman's Letter to the President (Wescott, J.S.) Come Home America (Wescott, J.S.) Folk, soldier's perspective. Anti-war, patriotic A-side: losing lots of lives in Vietnam. Mr. President, it's a senseless war. Riots between blacks and whites and police, send the troublemakers to Vietnam. I'm no communist, love my country. Buddy K.I.A. B-side: America is my home town. Don't need our children to kill. Respect for hippies
