30 June 2000 Dear Peter, You died with my brother that terrible day in March. I have a picture of you and Norman and your other buddies at the base camp in Vietnam. You are standing behind and above Norman in the picture. I found your name on the Wall in D.C. this weekend, you and Norman are next to each other there too, one above, one below. It makes me so sad to see your sweet young face in those pictures and to know you never got to live a full life. You are not forgotten. Love, Norman Renfro's little sister, Debie dwruck@jps.net

30 Jul 2006 Today, Saturday 29th July 2006, we rubbed Peter's name at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington. We did not know Peter, but as my name is almost the same as his, this was a good reason to commemorate. I was 15 at the time Peter died. This is a salute to his family. Yours, Pieter Schut (and son Ruben) the Netherlands pieter.schut@planet.nl
