John - We grunts came to count on you to protect us and we knew we had nothing to worry about. Having you in the air meant our backs were covered. I served with you in 1968 and 1969. May all of those who miss you rejoice knowing that you are in "Fiddler's Green".

From a comrade and brother in arms,
