Thank you heroes!
My husband, my two children, and I took Jack and Louise Adams to the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC so they could pencil rub their deceased son's name, DAVID V ADAMS from the wall of honor.
They never traveled much and would not have made the trip without company... I was glad to share the time with them!
They were devastated to lose their son to the war ...as all parents are... I cannot imagine how hard that must be now that I have a grown son.
I wrote this poem after visiting the wall and dedicated it to my brother ...
THE WALL
Each name engraved on the Vietnam Wall,
makes passers-by feel helpless and small.
An alphabetical book listing panel and row,
to touch the high with a ladder, or the ground for the low.
Courtesy shown there is truly unique,
from visitors each finding the names that they seek.
No pushing or shoving, few words are said,
taking time shading names on paper with lead.
The silence is deafening, the feeling is eerie,
names seem endless, eyes stay teary.
A veteran in uniform, seeming so tall,
people touching a name, he was touching them all.
Dear families of veterans, who died in that war,
The Wall in no way has evened the score.
They gave their life in that bloody brawl,
and they are not just another name on a wall.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear CPL David Vernon Adams, 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

Dave, I remember you from my unit
I remember Dave well, very nice guy, he took over as radio man on ambush patrols, I remember the letter his wife sent to our unit as we all listened so intently. As I remember he wanted to be a policeman back home in Mi.
I considered him a close friend.
