TO A BROTHER THAT SERVED HIS COUNTRY WELL,
I SAY THIS:

You are sadly missed by one and all. I remember our school days and never thinking we would wind up serving our country in Vietnam. I know you are with God and pulling ( op ) so keep an eye on us.

Till we meet again --
your Vietnam brother --
