To A Fallen Kilo Company Brother
Willie....you and I did not know one another personally, but I was in Kilo Company, 3/26 with you. I was the FO (but not an officer) and so we must have been on convoy duty, ambushes, and patrols together. We shared Christmas '67 and we shared Hill 861 (and its terrors). I went back to Khe Sanh this past July and I went to 861. I was up there for the better part of 2 days and I walked around the entire perimeter. I prayed for you as well as for the others in Kilo -- both the living and the dead. I hope you heard me. On this, the 33rd anniversary of your death (5Feb01), I hope that God holds you in his loving arms.

"THINK OF ME"
You know you cannot bring me back,
You know that I am gone,
I walk the streets of Heaven now,
It's my eternal home,
But think of me now and then,
Just as you do today,
Remember that I died for you,
So America could stay,
A land where men are equal,
A land where men are free,
A land I lived and died for,
When you think of Freedom,
"THINK OF ME".

"I TRIED"
"I TRIED" my best to save you,
Both you and God know "I TRIED",
"I TRIED" to stop the hand of death,
As I knelt there by your side,
"I TRIED" everything that I could do,
During the fire-fight in Nam that day,
But no matter how hard "I TRIED",
There was nothing I could do or say,
I stared deep into your eyes,
I held you as you died,
And though no words were spoken,
I believe you know "I TRIED".
