Thomas H. Courson, Best Friend, 539 N. Old Pacific Hwy. Myrtle Creek, Or. 97457. Your still my best friend. Tom and I went through High School together and although he was a year older, we had some real good times. He joined the Army before me and the last time we spoke was at a small grocery store down the street from our houses. I lost track of him during those hectic times and never knew we served in Vietnam at the same time and so close to each other. With his passing a part of me went with him. I will always remember him and wish I could have seen him one more time. God bless this young man.
