Norman was my loving big brother. I barely knew him but what memories I do have are ones of pride. One of my fondest memories of Norman was the day he surprised me by showing up at my grammar school all dressed up in his uniform. I wanted all the kids to see my big brother. I was so proud of him. He died for his belief in doing what was right in Vietnam. He died doing the only thing he ever wanted to do and that was being a soldier. He will always be close to my heart.

I wish I could have known him. I would love to hear from guys who knew my Dad.

To have a brother is special. To have him as a best friend is priceless. We shared a lot of special memories. You are always with me. I love you, Norman.
