Ken Manderfeld
I'm remembering the young handsome man who left for the Army and stopped at my house the night before so I could give him a kiss goodbye. Just wanted you to know that you were always such a perfect gentleman with me... I will never forget you. Rest in peace Ken.

Kissed me goodbye
Ken was my boyfriend when he left for Vietnam- he came to see me the night of my graduation party from high school. I was so naïve and just assumed he would return and we would get back into his really cool car and hang out and be friends forever. I went yo his wake and it was still so not real to me- what was in 1967! I think of you often Ken and I do say your name out loud and smile. So much yet for you to do - so many dreams you never got to experience. I’m a 75 year old woman and I just wanted you to know you made a difference in my life- lucky to have called you my friend.

honoring you...
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear PFC Kenneth Jay Manderfeld, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter
