Remembering Bobby

I didn't know Bobby but I have heard from two people who knew him. From what I was told, he was a very special guy. He gave the ultimate sacrifice and I am remembering him for what he gave. I lost my uncle in Vietnam - Edward August Schultz. Forty years later I was given a flag from a Viet Cong veteran who was in the battle that killed my uncle. That flag was meant for all who lost something. If a family member of Bobby's, or a friend, reads this, know that an "enemy", a Viet Cong soldier, gave his battle flag to a member of his enemy's family in remorse and forgiveness. (I wrote a book about it - The Box, A Memoir -it's on Amazon).

Remembering An American Hero

Dear CPL Robert William Eagleson, 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

Sadness, Sorrow

Bobby and I played Little League baseball for the same team. He was a natural athlete and hated to lose. We spent some time together when he was home on leave after his basic training. He knew that he was going to Viet Nam, but with that big grin of his, said that he would be back in a year with his discharge. I was in the service when my Dad told me Bobby had been killed. I cried then and I cry now, as the impact of his death has never gone away, part guilt I suppose.
You were a good man Bobby, God bless you and God bless your family.
