Classmate at Stoneville High School. Forgotten Hero.
Van, I remember you from High school. You were quiet and shy and didn't have alot to say. You were in my civics class.
Thank you for the sacrifice you made for our freedom. Everytime I see or hear anything about Vietnam, I think of you and your family, and tears roll down my face when I think of all the things you missed out on, because you died for your country, You didn't get to get married, have children and Grandchildren. I'm sure your family went through a lot of heartache and hurt.
Rest in peace. Dear Classmate and War Hero. Debra Joyce Thompson, 300 Rakestraw Road, Stoneville, NC 27048.
