Memorial Day
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.

Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.

And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam
Listed as KIA February 7, 1978

2. RIP AND THANKS FOR THE LINK
I was able to find a couple of old friends yesterday. Some were on the Wall and through the comment I located a coup
May we never forget.

3. Tomorrow, once again, is that moment
No, we don't forget you. Not for the rest of our days. You are always with us--still 18, 19, 20, frozen in the moment we lost you, while we who survived have aged. Time has marched on, but we still miss you, and what you might have become--if you only had the chance.

In Loving Memory...
