Never Forgotten
FOREVER REMEMBERED
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."
Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.
We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:
Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.
From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Silent Scream
Today I smiled tomorrow I'll frown,
because my love is leaving town,
He's going away for more than a day,
My Love, My Love,
goes far,far away,
to a land across the oceans,
He carries my emotions,
Our hopes and dreams,
are torn to screams,
as the battle falls about Him,
My tears begin to stream,
a letter has come it seems,
my darling gem has faded dim,
in a war so extreme,
"Shake me" "Shake me"
wake me up,
from this horrid dream,
My Love, My Love,
come back to me,
Is My never ending scream...
In loving Memory of the short but wonderful Love of Larry and Judy Foster..his only child was born a few months after his death..
