This is my memory of my buddy Steve, when as 18 year old soldiers we were in the same squad. He was a fine soldier and very polite to all. Steve was fearless in battle and carried his weight as well as anyone in the bush. He wanted to be a machine gunner and got his wish when our gunner Benny Thompson left for home. Benny would always say things were OK when we three were together. I got wounded March 3, 1968 and when I returned to the field after weeks of rehab I was told that Benny and Quinn had left with Steve getting killed. I felt somewhat alone as we were a team but lived to tell a story. His family should be very proud of this soldier. I will always keep him in my heart.
