Bob Kassabaum,Lindell Richardson, and myself spent the last night of Kenny's life having beers alone side of our tent just bull shifting about everything but never about the war. The only thing mentioned was that Kenny had a mission the next day. The following afternoon we got word that Kenny and others were killed in a PC with an armor piercing shell. To us this was the worst day since we arrived in country. Thru the rest of our tour Ken was mentioned every day. Rest In Peace Friend

Remembering An American Hero

Dear SP4 Kenneth Edward Shrum, sir As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned. May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you. With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir Curt Carter
