MANCHU: A Brotherhood of Sacrifice, a Matt Wilcox film

Jan., 2019 we published Stan's Vietnam memoir "Mokane to Mole City". Stan writes extensively about June 19, 1969 when tragically both you & Gilbert Bargmann lost your lives. June, 2020, Matt Wilcox from FL who makes documentaries contacted us about wanting to make a documentary about the Manchus. 4 years later, we held a Welcome Home Vietnam Vets red carpet pre-release of the film at William Woods Univ. in Fulton, MO on May 18, 2024. This spring KMOS/PBS from Warrensburg, MO premiered the film, showing it more during the Memorial Day Holiday. The 2 hour film, with closed captioning is available on the FREE PBS App. Matt pays tribute to the 428 Manchus killed from 1966-1970, Stan especially his Bravo Co. Brothers who died during his year Nov. 68-Nov.69. You will never be forgotten. KUTF (Keep Up The Fire) Stan & Rita Adams PS. Thank you to David's sister-in-law Karen Mines for adding pictures of David and his family. We've lost touch with David's brothers Martin and Ira, want to let the Deitch family know about Stan's book and the documentary where David is honored. Please e-mail me with anyone's information. Thank you.

honoring you...

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.
