MANSIONS OF THE LORD Vietnam Veterans Memorial Music By Scott Glennie-Smith (We Were Soldiers USA 2002) Chorus: United States Military Academy Glee Club Lyrics written by Ronan Tynan To fallen soldiers let us sing Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing Our broken brothers let us bring To the Mansions of the Lord No more bleeding, no more fight No prayers pleading through the night Just divine embrace, eternal light To the Mansions of the Lord. Where no mothers cry and no children weep We will stand and guard though the angels sleep Through the ages safely keep The Mansions of the Lord.

In the north of the country, the confiscations go back to the 1950's, when the communists took power, and in the south to after 1975. And the first and most important demand concerns the building that at one time hosted the pontifical delegation in Hanoi, next to the archbishop's residence and the cathedral of St. Joseph.
