We Remember
Larry was a member of my Platoon (2/A/1-4 Cav). It was a sad day when he was killed by a mine that was set off by my TC William Gregory. These 2 and 2 others died that day. Many others were wounded in the blast. I wish that I had a picture to contribute for his page but sadly I don’t. June 9 is especially a day of reflection on their loss. RIP Larry!!

Remembering An American Hero
Dear PFC Larry Rufus Jenkins, 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, Sir
Curt Carter

NEVER FORGOTTEN
FOREVER REMEMBERED
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 "Band of Vietnam Brothers"
