What I Recall
Henry Ledford was the older brother of my best friend, Lisa. We were eleven that year, had been friends since first grade. Henry had a warm and beautiful girlfriend, Robin, and I remember them taking Lisa and me to the movies. What a good guy, bothering with his kid sister and her awkward friend. Robin and Henry married in a military wedding at Quantico. Crossed swords, dress blues...it was magical, like a fairy tale. Henry left for Vietnam about two months later, and was killed just a few days in. His family, of course, was wrecked. My family moved away soon after, but we kept in touch, from time to time. I saw Lisa again when we were 14, and again at 19. She suffered emotional illness as she grew up, I imagine exacerbated by the profound loss of her brother and protector, Henry. I suppose it's just one more loss among so many tens of thousands. Thinking of it all, my heart is broken for them all; the soldiers--both the ones who came home, and the ones who didn't--and their loved ones.
