I was seven years old When my Uncle Jerry was in Vietnam he wrote letters to my Mother. In one letter he wrote that he had gotten real close to a small Vietnamese girl who reminded him of me. The laugh and the smile. My Uncle had a big heart! He had one for me, one for you, and one for that little girl who he knew he would never see again! I do remember that my Uncle Jerry had a collection of model airplanes. I also remember the week or two before he was killed. He came home on leave and we had a family gathering. He would not say Good-bye to anyone. He just started giving his things away, and as we were all leaving, he just sat in his car. He did not look at anyone. He just sat there.
I thought he did not love me, but to find out later he did.
WE WILL ALWAYS If you knew my Uncle Jerry, please contact me.
