POSTED ON 7.30.2018

48 years

48 years ago you died in Vietnam. the same years since I was born. I've been trying for a couple of years to find information about your life, and the lives of your other 21 comrades who died the same day and the same year in Vietnam. I'm finding it hard to find her, but I already think that I know you in something. This same message I will send to your other 21 fallen comrades. and if YOU allow me, I also consider myself your comrade. On each of my birthdays I will have a memory for YOU. Rest in peace.

My Best friend and Big Brother.

As a child growing up in the 70's and eighties I have a hard time dealing with my parents divorce and many other issues. Martin Prast came into my life via the Big Brother program and what a great time that was. Martin Prast helped me is so many ways, he was my best Big Brother. Despite his disability, he was in a wheel chair when I met him, He showed me how to make the most of my life with the skills and abilities I possessed. He was always positive and tried to make the world a better place, including mine. Now even after his death many years later he still inspires me and I will never forget him.
