honoring you....
Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just six days before your 28th birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

Hi Grandpa
Hi Grandpa. I never got to meet you, and you died while my mom was a baby. I saw your brother, pat, the other day. I always wonder what my life would be like if you were here with us. I know my mom wonders how hers would be different. I love you grandpa. You are always in my heart although I never got to meet you. I believe we have a lot of similarities based on all the stories I've heard. RIP Grandpa Dave. Your Grandaughter, Hannah

Remembering Dave Manning
We went through training at Staging Bn. (Camp Pendleton) in late 1965-early 1966 before being sent overseas to separate units around Jan. 10, 1966. It was early winter when we were being trained. Troops who put their hands in their pockets were told to get down on the deck and do 20 pushups for punishment. In a low tone of voice, Dave Manning told us that if we had to do 20 pushups for putting our hands in our pockets, we should go ahead with 40 pushups instead and then put our hands back in our pockets! We all appreciated Dave's sense of humor.
Rest in Peace, Dave, and Semper Fi!
Former Sgt. Hank Frydel

Remembering An American Hero
Dear LCPL David Lawrence Manning, 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
