Dear Lt Donald Heggan,
Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantry Unit Commander. The war was years ago, but we all need to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I think of you often cousin Donald, but especially on Memorial Day. I remember the day my mom and dad came to pick me up and told me you were killed in Vietnam. You were so young and handsome and good. They named a baseball park after you at home. Rest in peace. Love, cousin Linda
