You were one of "my guys". As your platoon leader I did my best to bring everyone home but I was not successful. I mourned your loss then and I do to this day. I carry your name in my wallet along with the names of your brothers in arms lost from my platoon. Know that those of us who served with you will not forget.

Green, Thank you...We still remember
I remember seeing you at Sky Harbor Airport as I was arriving in Phoenix on leave, and you were shipping out to Vietnam. It never occured that I might not see you again. We were young, invincible, and dedicated to the cause of freedom. I visited your name on the 'wall' in 1984 and, only then, realized that we were no longer the same age. By that time, my oldest child had lived longer than you. It was then that the total weight of your sacrifice rested on me. I can never thank you enough for your friendship and your sacrifice. We'll meet again.

The memory of “my guys,” is, in the back, of my mind, daily, but days, like today, the thoughts, are “front and center.” We, the lucky, live on, because of your, sacrifice and we will, not forget. God, rest your soul.

In the rising and setting of the sun, we remember them. In the blowing of the wind and the chill of the winter, we remember them. In the opening of the buds, the blueness of the sky, the rustle of the leaves and the blanketing of the snow, we remember them. When we are weary, lost , and sick at heart, when we have joys to share , we remember them. For as long as we live they too shall live, for they are a part of us always.

Memorial Day 2009
While my thoughts of you come often, this is the day those thoughts overpower all the others. Rest well knowing you gave your all and your memory lives on in the hearts of your family, your comrades in arms, and your platoon leader

Green,
You had the sweatest voice I ever heard when you sang Rock & Roll. We walked many a Click together, sat on the same Ambushes and drank from the same canteen while with the 1st Platoon of Bravo Co 1st Bn 5th Inf Reg 25th Division Cu Chi 1966 until that bad day in the Ho Bo Woods on the 13th of April 1966. I can still here you sing when the wind blows.

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die

Today, as we enter into another conflict, I would like you to know that you are not forgotten. I just wanted to thank you for your service to our country. You made the greatest sacrifice for your country, and that sacrifice is greatly appreciated. The freedom that we have today is a result of members of the armed services, such as you, who have put their lives on the line. I thank you

Conley, Green, SP 4
