27 Jan 2006 Kenny and I served together at Camp Lejune before he was sent to Vietnam and I was sent to Laos. Kenny was from Brooklyn, we called him 'Kenny The Kid'. I made several 'weekend' trips home with him. He loved his Camels and a cold beer! I miss him even today, 40 years after his death. He and I got USMC tattoos together in Vieques, Puerto Rico; after we got the tattoo, we had no money left and had to spend the next 3 days on the ship. I visit him at The Wall every time I go to Washington; can't ever do it without tears in my eyes. Ralph Lovelidge usmc63ralph@comcast.net
