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.

Small world Doc
The day you lost your life we were there. 50 yr later I found all the names and pictures of the KIA's and posted them along with the truck on facebook to honor them 50 yrs after. The wife of our CO saw your name and picture and was shocked and told me that she went to HS with Hm2 Reck in Texas. It was that day she learned for the first time her husband and others in are group where there that day working treat the wounded. what are the Odds of these event coming to light 50 yrs later and Linda learning about what happened to her friend.
