If I should die...remembrances for CAPT. Walter Stephen MULLEN, USA...who died for our country!!!!!!
If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

God Bless You
Thank you so much for the sacrifice made for our country. How tragic to die in war and before you got a chance to live a life you so deserved. Your daughter is a wonderful friend and God Bless you for being the person you were. I'm sure so much of what you were, though you never met, is what Maggie is today.
God Speed.
God Speed.

You'd be a grandfather TWICE!
I have not posted since 2000 and a lot has changed. I got married in 2001 and had our first daughter 12/03 - followed by our second daughter 10/07. I often compare your pictures to theirs and see the resemblance. I think of you often and wonder what life would have been like if we would have met. I know you would have been a wonderful father and grandfather. I have been very blessed in my life with a very loving family, but will always feel a part of me is missing.

NEVER FORGOTTEN
FOREVER REMEMBERED
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."
Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.
We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:
Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.
From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers
