A wonderful friend and neighbor
Sherman "Skipper" was a neighbor and school friend of mine growing up. He was a leader and eventually became president of his high school class. He was very well respected by all who knew him. My family moved from Orchard Park into the Buffalo area when I was in high school and so I lost touch with Skipper. I know he went on to marry, have a family, and serve in Viet Nam. He was born 7/10/44 and died on 2/28/70 serving our country - a true hero! All the men and women who serve our country (and have served) in the many branches of our armed services deserve the title of "hero." Skipper your service will never be forgotten. Thank you.

American Hero
Dear Lieutenant Bochnewetch,
You sir, are a hero for your service and the sacrifice you made for our country. My Uncle, Harry went to Officer Training school with you. He speaks highly of your friendship. He visits you yearly. My uncle Harry along with thousands of other veterans and supporters ride across the United States on motorcycles to the Vietnam Memorial Wall. It’s a healing process for those left behind. It’s also a remembrance and tribute to those who lost their lives and those who were prisoners of war or missing in action. He goes to your name, touches it, prays for you, honors and salutes you,
I hope your wife and twin daughters receive some sort of comfort knowing we Americans, are so appreciative
of the freedom men such as yourself have allowed us to maintain, We are so very grateful.
It’s documented that you died from wounds from a land mine that exploded while you were directing an infantry platoon on a combat mission.
Heroes are never forgotten. Not only will you never be forgotten Lieutentent Bochnewetch, this wall lets your legend live forever. The sacrifice you made is etched in stone.
