For SGT Robert Randolph BEANNER, USMC...who gave his life in the defense of our nation, so far away!
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so. SGT Beanner, your sacrifice was NOT in vain! Our country is still free...and STRONG! You were needed...and you were there! Among my three favorites songbirds, along with Julie Andrews and Dusty Springfield, I think that Avonmore's Jill Corey would be proud of you, for you served our nation well.

Never Forgotten
FOREVER REMEMBERED
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."
Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.
We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:
Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

Remembering Randy
I met Marine Corps brothers, Randy and Ricky Beanner when I started dating their sister. I confused their names back then, not knowing which one was Ricky and which one was Randy. Ricky had blond hair and a stocky build while Randy wore glasses, had dark, curly hair and a wiry build. They were two tough Marines.
Things never worked out between his sister and me. We both moved on and she married somebody else. Feeling like an outsider, I didn't go to his funeral. I have always felt regret for not having done so. I just wanted to say I have never forgotten him or his sacrifice.
