My second cousin whom I never got to meet but he has moved me tremendously with his bravery, courage and sacrifice. Thank you, Arthur, for helping others in a terrifying time and place and may your spirit carry on with beauty, love and peace.

Arthur completed his first tour with the Navy but volunteered to return to help his Naval comrades. He was a Corpsman and was killed on his second tour in Quang Tri, South Vietnam.
