John Zietlow looking42z@sbcglobal.net He was an uncle I never met An Uncle that decide to give his life, so that I may be able to write this. I grew up knowing that my " Uncle Laurence was serving his country". I was never able to meet him, only because he was killed before his return from Vietnam. I was present at his funeral, and to be honest I was scared to death. We had just taken a train trip from Texas to North Dakota when I was only about 7 yrs old. It took the Honor Guard to actually pull me from the car, in order for me to attend the funeral. I truly do not know much about my Uncle, but it did impress me enlist after I got out of High School. I realize that there will be few that read this,but if you should, remember, my uncle gave his life so that I may write this and that you can read it as well.
If anyone served with him I would love to hear from you, and perhaps meet you in the future.
God Bless America...
