Fifty-Six Years
It has been fifty-six years since the date our paths crossed in a place called Vandegrift Combat Base, also known as Ca Lu Airfield, in Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam. I was wounded in the same rocket attack that took you life. The remembrances of you posted on this site attest to your empathy and love for others. I remember you daily and wish you had survived to live and love these last fifty-six years and more.
P.S. My new neighbors include a young woman who is the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants. She and her husband have two beautiful young daughters and share a good life. I think your service helped make that possible.
