Neighbor
John was my next-door neighbor growing up. I was 15 years younger than him and vaguely remember meeting John. What I do remember most however, is the love and devotion of his mother when he became MIA. She held hope for many, many years that he would be found alive, and she brought focus to the need of our government to do the utmost to locate the soldiers and bring them home. I was in Washington DC this past weekend and located John’s name on the Vietnam Memorial wall, as I do every time I visit the Memorial. I feel that I owe it to him and his family. John owned the coolest Chevy Corvair convertible with a supercharged engine. His mother drove it almost every day until the day she died.

Remembering you and those who didn't make it home from the Vietnam War. This year makes 50 years since America left Vietnam, but the time that you and those we lost have been gone seems so much longer.
