Gary, You may not remember me but I will never forget you. We both lived in the Children's Home in Covington, Ky. You were the oldest person at the Children's Home. I remember how nice you were to all of us younger ones. I also remember when we found out that you were a Marine and that you were going to go to Viet Nam. I remember the shock when we heard that your life had been taken. Knowing that you were so close to your time to leave that place. A plaque was placed above the water fountain on the first floor of the Children's Home in your memory. I looked at it the day I left the Children's Home for good in 1973 to go live with my dad and my new step-mom. I have grown up; married; had children; joined and retired from the Army. But one thing I have not yet done is to visit "The Wall". But I promise to you that one day that I will. And I will find your name. After I find your name, I will think of you. After I think of you, I will cry.
