Dear Sp4 Dennis Lorden, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. The 45th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon just passed, and it is still sad. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

The picture of Dennis Lorden with his arms folded was submitted by Kathy Cleveland of the Cabinet Press, the weekly newspaper of Milford. The photo was acquired in 2009 when Kathy wrote an article about Dennis. She was helped by Dennis' sister Gayle. The picture was given to Kathy by the platoon leader of the Veterans of Bravo, Dennis' Unit- B Company 1/11 (M).
