honoring you.....
War drew us from our homeland
In the sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who did not come back alive remain
in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
And a part of them is with us always.

I served with Robert R. Rogers in Vietnam
The Summer of 1967 I attended the Armed Forces Language Institute, Monterrey, Calif along with Robert Rogers. I knew him simply as Rogers. I cannot express adequately how I feel about his death. He and I traveled from Monterrey together to Okinawa, Japan and then to Vietnam where we were both assigned to the 3rd Battalion 26th Marines. We arrived in country only seven days before his death. To this day I cannot believe we lost him so soon into his tour and that we lost him at all. I remember vividly his family coming to see him off from Monterrey and as they followed the bus Rogers and I were on as we began our short ride to Travis Air Force base where we would depart to Vietnam. I remember who was likely his sister and others in the car yelling out the window and waving as we traveled down the highway. From my seat in the bus I could see directly towards them and see their faces and every gesture. Their smiles, shouts and waves. The last time either they or him would see each other. If any of his family or friends would like to contact me I am John A. Ortiz on facebook. My home number is 316-942-2558 in Wichita, Ks.
