In 1968, I was in the sixth grade with Sgt. Littlejohn's daughter. I still remember him coming to school to tell her good-bye before he left for Vietnam. He was in his dress uniform and really looked good. Just a short time later, we were in class and saw the cars pull up in front of the school with Valerie's Mom and a couple of Army Officer's and a preacher. I will never forget that day and the impression it left on me. I was at a Jimmy Fortune concert recently and he sang his song about "The Wall". Every time I hear it I think about Sgt. Littlejohn and Capt. Billy Black, who also died over there. Thank God for people like them and their sacrifices

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

I am leaving remembrances for random veterans thanking them for the great contribution they have given our nation as part of a school project. I want you to know that you weren’t forgotten. Our nation looks at those of you who fought in perilous times for our nation, even without the full support of everyone, and gave the ultimate honor for your country. Thanks a million times over.

Littlejohn, Troy Alvin, SGT
