PLAYING TAPS FOR A HERO
On this anniversary of Harold's passing, I still remember that cold winter day in Iowa when he was laid to rest. His family requesting that I play taps for the service was an incredible honor then, and remains so to this day. Thank you for your service and supreme sacrifice. You are not forgotten.

I think of you often. Our Teams joint operations in Qui Nhon did a lot to knock out NVA sappers in Vinh Quang. Thanks for fixing my beat up Remington Model 11. I've been to Ft. Pierce a few times and I just sit in front of the wall staring at your name and somehow for just a moment I see you.
