12 Feb 2000 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. Love, "Little Sister" Debbie, dwruck@earthlink.net

 

12 Mar 2000 I wish I could have known him. I never even got to call him dad. I have always been so proud of him. I know he has always watched over me. I would love to hear from guys who knew my Dad. Love, Rosie keeros7@aol.com

 

15 Jun 2006 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. Rose Marie Leontini tinylion2@comcast.net
