For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother”. Rest in peace brave soldier, you have not been forgotten. (W.Shakespeare) May God Bless You for your Sacrifice!!!

Everett and I played Trombone together in the South Harriman High School band, under the direction of Robert Pybas in the early 60's. He was very talented and well liked. I too, served with the 25th Infantry Division '67-'68. Even though it has been many years, I still think of him often and cherish my memories of him.

Never knew you were there
I'll never forget the loss I felt when I read your name in the Stars and Stripes, I didn't even know you were there with me. Oh how I hated to face your parents when I got home. May my memories always be good of you and your family. Thanks for the final sacrifice,

Never Forgotten
FOREVER REMEMBERED

"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....
Take what they have left and 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...."

Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.

We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:

Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Thank you for your sacrefice to America. The future of my country is instilled in memory of soldiers, like yourself, who gave their lives. It is because of their ultimate sacrifice my school, Gridley High, is posting remembrances for all the men and women who fell. You are not forgotten. God bless you
