Ed, you were a warrior through and through. Laying down suppressing fire for 5 minutes with your M-60 in the face of superior odds as the rest of us were moving to engage the 40 NVA that had ambushed us. You took out 8 bad guys, Bro', and that saved many of your brothers' lives at the sacrifice of your own. 'Country' had a rough time with you gone, as we all did. I want you to know how much you are loved and missed by 2nd Platoon Lima 3/7. I will see you when I get there, my Brother.
