honoring you...
War drew us from our homeland
In the sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who did not come back alive remain
in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
And a part of them is with us always.

A Noble Spirit
Felix Leon Jr. was a charismatic young man of noble character and spiritual sensitivity. He was my best friend and one of the few positive male role models that I would encounter in my life. He encouraged me to reach my potential and to pursue my dreams of becoming a doctor. He insisted that I meet a girl called Ileana Diaz (Nana) because he recognized in her a kindred noble spirit and he was convinced that he had found the perfect girl for me. He wrote me that if he were to die in Vietnam that then he would ask God to allow him to be my guardian angel. I owe Felix much and I wish he could have seen the fruit of his encouragement and matchmaking. Nana is today my wife of 35 years, the mother of our three children and my life-long best friend. I became a doctor and a practicing pediatrician for the past 37 years. Thank you, Felix, for being my friend. Your life was exemplary, your death courageous. I will never forget you and I will meet you soon at our heavenly mansion.
