Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Specialist Four Terry Hugh Beardslee, Served with Company A, 3rd Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 9th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Patricia is heart-breaking and reflects the anguish suffered by so many who lost loved ones in this war. May you rest in eternal peace.

It's been almost 49 years since you exited that chopper in a recovery mission on the wrong side and ran directly into the sniper's sites. After all these years in denial, I'm at my first TAPS event, and your loss is still add great as in the first few days.
I an hoping our precious daughter, Amy, has found her way to TAPS or Sons and Daughters In Touch and has gotten the help and loving acceptance one of the these organizations.
Through my interactions with some of the surviving children of Vietnam veterans, I am just beginning to understand how deeply Amy has been affected by her loss in not knowing you. And in my ignorance of her pain. Maybe one day she'll read this and find it in her heart to forgive me.

DEAR SPEC 4 BEARDSLEE,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A GRUNT. IT IS STILL THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.AND WE ARE THANKFUL FOR YOU. IT IS NEW YEAR, WHICH MAKES IT FAR TOO LONG FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE.. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE.
