21 Jul 2002 We were buddies for a short time. I wish we still were. We talked about so many things and only one of us got to do them. Ray Herrera joerayherrera@msn.com

01 Jun 2005 Of the few men's names my dad remembers who died March 21st, Algernon Thomas is one of them. Whenever we visit the Traveling Wall, Algernon's name is one my dad looks for. Algernon must have been one heck of a guy for my dad to remember him so well. My dad only remembers a couple of other guys. My dad even remembered that Algernon was from Ohio. I know he mourns for the loss. God Bless his family and all who serve in our Armed Forces. Stephanie Clark (on behalf of Ovie "Bud" Clark) sclark1398@aol.com
