SEEKING THOSE WHO KNEW HIM
A NEW BOOK IN THE MAKING - THEY DESERVE TO BE KNOWN I am Vietnam Era veteran (Navy). Since 2013 I have been collecting records and searching for family or service buddies who knew this individual for a special book. The book will have the stories of about forty-plus Marines, soldiers and airmen [and one nurse] who lost their lives in Vietnam, and some who survived. Though the book will center around the lives of many youths from high schools in Toledo, Ohio, there are others in this work from California, Missouri, Michigan, Rhode Island and elsewhere. Together these stories tell the Vietnam story in a personal way whereby the reader will come TO KNOW these heroes, not just as the soldiers they became, but the youths they were. These stories are not necessarily a collection of remembrances, but my journey to KNOW them, so that you also can know them. If you have any personal information about this individual, who is part of this work, please contact me. Cowboy [email protected]

honoring you.....
There is a place
Not far from here
Where spirits walk
And heroes live
And honor still resides.
It is a wall
With names inscribed
Of those who served
When they were asked...
The brothers of my youth.
I go there still
To walk and think
About my life,
And what I've done since
And things that might have been.
There is a debt
I can't repay
Too many lives were spent.
And one man's life cannot suffice
To make their deaths worthwhile.
But there is hope
In the memory
Of those we leave behind
Who know the price that freedom brings
Who can carry on in kind.
I send you now
To touch a name
So the vision can be passed
Remember there is honor still
It is for you to see it lasts.
They are not dead
And have a wish
As all old soldiers do
The reflection you see before you now
Is their wish to live in you.
