My Young Cousin
Never has anything been more painful to our family than the loss of my dear young cousin Chuckie. I think of him often, even now so very many years after his death. God bless him and keep him.

honoring you...
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Sock would have made a difference
How many people looking at the Vietnam Wall Memorial would know that Walter Kacsock Jr., a 20-year-old Specialist 4th Class from Massachusetts, had begged me to trade places with him in the orderly room so that he could be a scout observer in light observation helicopters, "Come on, take my place as a clerk so that I can get out of here. I'm tired of pushing pencils and keeping up with all these #&*!! Army regulations!" Finally, after four months with the infantry, I exchanged places with Sock in the orderly room and 3 weeks later he was killed in action. Who would have known that "Sock" was a fun person to be around because he was a kidder? Many years later I learned that he was an avid surfer, and his friend still has his surfboards, waxed and ready to use, just as he left them. I think of Sock quite frequently. He would have made a difference in the world.

Kacsock
Two nights before you left for Nam we spoke of the future. You did have one concern that if anything happened to you it would be the end of your family name. I will do what I can to see that you are not forgotten. The picture is you, sharp dresser, a smile and that look of adventure.
