From our college days
From our college days. I remember you well from Buffalo State and when you went into the military. You lived a very difficult life up to that time. Several years ago my daughter and I were in Washington. We stopped at the Vietnam Wall. I touched your name on the wall. I began to cry, my daughter asked me why I was crying. I told her it was because of you and all these men on this wall that gave me the freedom to have her. Thank you buddy and you’ll always be remembered . God bless you !
