Hey, Pops

I was with you that day and was on the track just before it left the lager site for Dau Tieng. I jumped off. I don’t know why I did so. It was as if an unseen hand just nudged me off that APC. A few minutes later I heard the explosion.

I’m sorry you left this world that day and in that way so far from your loved ones. I’ve never been able to reconcile why you and the others were killed and I was spared.

Your family should know you did not suffer, nor did the others on that APC.

Rest in peace, brother.
