Darrel ... There hasn't been one Memorial Day that has passed since you died that my thoughts have not turned to you. Each Memorial Day I place little American Flags around the Vietnam Memorial here in Buffalo, New York. I think of you and the good times we had together in the short time we had before you left us. The good times included talk of home and loved ones and dreaming of going back to THE WORLD. I have thought so many many times over the last three decades of contacting your family and letting them know that someone kind and gentle was with you in your last moments and that you were not alone in the jungle. We were all saddened April 12th, 1968, when you were taken from us.
I will miss you forever, Buddy. |
