It has been 38 years since we last saw each other. I was with you when you died on March 13, 1967. You have been in my thoughts and prayers over the years that seem to sometimes pass slowly and then looking back they have passed very quickly. You were and still remain, in my mind, the consumate soldier: responsible, dedicated, trustworthy and honorable. I have been to the Wall and honored you and have recently tried to find where you are buried to honor your memory in person, but have been unsuccessful. If any of your family want to contact me, please do not hestitate to do so. We will meet again my friend. Until then and always rest in peace.

In Memory of Lonnie Edward Parker who told us before leaving for Vietnam, "I'm doing this for the kids." Although he had none of his own, his memory has been shared with his nieces and one nephew. Those who were born before he left for Vietnam, he dearly loved. Those who were born after he was killed have been taught to honor and cherish his memory.
From his sister-in-law and friend, ONE OF 58,000It was spring when we went to the Walland made a tracing of your name. So strange that these symbols remain while the one who gave them significance is now for such a long time gone and just a memory which will remain only until those of us who remember become memories...
Maybe someone, sometime will come to the Wall |
