My dear friend Juan.
As kids we played together and got in trouble together. We grew up and proudly served as Marines together. You were always proud, and the sharpest Marine I served with. I remember how we used to brag about our outfits. You with the 12th Marines and I with the 9th Marines. But, we were both proud to serve in the 3rd Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific. By the grace of God,I survived the war in Viet Nam. You made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. "Semper Fi" my friend. You are not forgotten. For sure I will see you again someday, somewhere else.
