Remembering you

Today, October 2nd 2021, I visited the WALL and found you name…Remebering when you, me Lt Laing, Jonesy, went thru trading together and went to Vietnam together. Remebering all the patrols we went on and then that faitfall night you left us to look for you all night long and into the rest off the following day..until two days later when you were found. To this day I still remember you. RIP my shipmate.
