31 May 2003 Bobby, after all these years, I finally saw the traveling Wall. Your name is there with thousands of others. I thought I wouldn't have a problem seeing it there, but I was definitely wrong. After all this time it was like when they first told me you were gone all over again. I am so sorry you are not here to see everyone, but I imagine you can still see them a lot better than I know. We all miss you so much, your brothers, Mom, and all of us cousins and classmates. We know you're so much better off than we are, but wonder if it was really so necessary for any of you to go at all. Always know that we miss you and love you, and will see you soon in Christ's arms. From his cousin and classmate, Linda Dent Email address is not available

 

18 Aug 2007 Bobby, I think of you off and on, even after all of these years. I remember you giving me a suck of your sucker during a football game, I was so embarrased and proud to be noticed by an upper classman. I remember your smile, the way your eyes crinkled. To be remembered by a smile is what we should all hope for. I think of you and I smile... From a friend, Patty Stevens pstevens60201@yahoo.com

Their platoon was performing that flank security mission about 6 miles Northeast of An Hoa Combat Base in Quang Nam Province, Republic of Vietnam.
