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

While Wife Gives Birth
While Bernadette Huster lay in a hospital giving birth to her first child last weekend, her 20-year-old husband was going to his death in Vietnam.
Sp.4/c Robert R. Huster, 49 Haddon ave., West Berlin, Camden county, N.J. was killed instantly by rifle fire Saturday - the same day Mrs. Huster gave birth to a son, Robert, at John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Stratford, N.J.
Huster was on a personnel carrier with the 3d Squardron, 11th Armored Division, about 20 miles from Saigon.
Mrs. Huster, 21, was notified of her husband's death Monday. She has been staying at the home of a sister, Mrs. Mary Fagan, 349 Cleveland ave., West Berlin.
A graduate of Edgewood Regional High School in Tansboro, Huster was drafted into the Army in November 1965. He had worked for a construction company before entering the service.
Huster also is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Huster, of West Berlin, three brothers and a sister.
