Brother, you
are not forgotten
I remember
that day in Vietnam all to well...it was crushing to all of us to face your
death...I remember it all the river crossing, you losing your glasses in the
river, the mortars impacting, the fight for every tree line, Pops you were
special to all that knew you, we will all have a cold one before guarding the
streets up above.
This tribute
is meant to honor your memory, Rest in Peace Our Brother - Semper Fidelis!

I was one
scared nineteen yr. old when I was assigned to your squad. Papsadora was squad
leader. We spent many a night in the same fighting hole. I was with you that
day when you were killed in action. When crossing the river that morning you
hung onto the radio on my back to keep your head above water. Just before you
were hit, I turned around to look where you were and you just smiled. I'll
never forget that smile. Rest in peace Pops.
