Mac, a true hero
Posted for: ALFRED MAC WILSON:
Mac,
I remember you were always pestering me in school. I was very shy and made an easy target for you. I am honored to have known a hero. It is a shame that as kids we cannot let the real person inside shine through. They have made movies about men with valor and courage such as you showed in Viet Nam. May your sacrifice be never forgotten. I will always be careful from now on with any acquaintances....you never know if you're sitting or standing next to a real "hero". I regret you had to give your life, but am very proud to be able to say I knew you.
Linda
