Alive Today Because of Rod's Sacrifice

I'm Gary DeRigne. I was in Rod's squad on July 18, 1969 when we walked into a North Vietnamese ambush and were attacked with command-detonated land mines. Seeing one, Rod threw himself on the device just as it was detonated, and took the full force of it with his body. He saved my life and those of others in his squad through his selfless act, and well-deserved the Medal of Honor he was later awarded. God bless you, Brother, and Thank You for the years of live you've given me.

honoring you...

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