Remembering My Uncle Otis and his ulimate sacrifice for this Country

Uncle Otis, I think of you often and I wonder how at the young age of 21 you fought and died for America. It is so extremely amazing to be able to honor you and to acknowledge the extreme sacrifice you made for this country. Your mother's heart became a little weaker losing you, her baby boy. My father your brother went to Vietnam with the Red Cross just to find you but was unsuccessful. My father has passed on now and so has your mother and father. I hope they are with you, and I hope one day I can be with you as well. I love and miss you Uncle Otis.

Your niece Rochelle (I think you used to call me Roach).

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died on your 21st birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.
