My almost brother-in-law
You were engaged to my sister at the time of your death. I think you had 1 month to go and you would be home. My mother and sister, both, received letters from you the day after we were notified. You were like a brother to me and one of the greatest guys I have ever met. My father, also a Marine in WW2, loved you too. I know this because it's the first time I ever saw him cry. I will always remember you, Lance, my brother.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear LCPL Lance Aaron De Roo, 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

A Tribute
I served with Mike Company 3/1 in Vietnam from 67 to 68 and have created a tribute motorcycle with all 206 names of our Marines and Corpsmen who made the ultimate sacrifice. To view the pictures of the bike go to www.youtube.com and search "Buds pics of bike" May we never forget.

NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER
It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die
