Remembrance
My grandfather died in Vietnam before my mom knew who he was. I am putting his picture on the Wall as a remembrance of my grandfather in his memory and as gift to my mom.

You are remembered.
Walked up to the Rochester Vietnam Highland Park Memorial yesterday. Checked out your bollard. Was in college with you at Geneseo, I got drafted later and got out in 70 - no Vietnam in country time. I still remember the KP in my company at Fort Dix who told me you were KIA, bad breakfast news. It was Ray, also from Geneseo. Hope I have lived a good life in honor of you and all my vet brothers and sisters.

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.
