honoring you...
Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You died at 18 years of age. I am 74 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

Francis in 2/1 Marines Golf Co. Charlie Sqd.
After all these years. I, Joe Jesse Aguilera came across old negatives. Francis, I took this last picture of you kneeling next to our temporary shelter & shared a fox hole not shown on top a hill. A few hours later, we were picked for night patrols. Fate intervened, I was picked w/ 4 other Marines to a listening post at the end of Dong Ha runway. Francis was picked with another new Marine rifleman (passenger) & Navy corpsman (driver). For a 3-man night rat patrol with LIGHTS on. We saw Francis & crew 2 or 3 times? at a distance patrolling the only dirt highway in our area. Then nothing, we did not here the explosion. We went back to camp. Was told, Francis & crew were ambushed. A satchel charge thrown by waiting NVA on the edge of a low cliff. Francis & other Marine died instantly. Navy Corpsman survived but very critical. I pray for all the fallen. You’re never forgotten my friend

Dear PFC Francis Lamon, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. For many of us, we have begun Lent. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
