Analysis of They Just Might Die Tomorrow (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
I was disheartened
When I went to Las Pulgas
There was no E Club
My fellow brother’s in arms
Have the right to blow off steam
They just might die tomorrow

About this poem
I spoke with some current Marines on my visit…One spoke of 5/11 and I asked another one about the E Club…He told me there was/is one on 29 Palms…I guess 3/11 took it with them…I have fond memories of the E Club on Oogatraz…I wonder if June still has the poems Ron penned for her???Music By June is what she went by when she visited us on Las Pulgas…And I did not write those poems for her…
