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:
... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.
From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Just a stranger passing by.
Can I call you "Doc"?
I was passing by your grave in the Lone Mountain Cemetery in Carson City NV last Sept. (2004) So I thought I would take a photo of your grave so I can post it here and on www.findagrave.com
Though I never had the honor of knowing you in life I think of all of those you saved as a Navy Corpsman with the Marines on those bloody battle days in Vietnam, and for that I shall never forget you sir. Rest in Peace Doc, Rest in Peace.
