Remembering An American Hero
Dear CPL Darrel Anthony Bondrowski, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

Do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Mary Frye – 1932

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin - February 21, 1968
In Firefight With Viet Cong
"Best of luck to a great guy. Lots of luck whatever the future brings," They wrote in Dink Bondrowski's high school yearbook.
From the many hand-written messages of good wishes in the yearbook, Darrel A. Bondrowski must have been one of the more popular boys in Chester High School's class of 1964. He was handsome and athletic.
But the luck his classmates wished him ran out for Army Cpl. Bondrowski, 22, February 9 on a combat mission near Chu Lai in Vietnam. He was killed in a firefight with the Viet Cong.
Bondrowski played two years of varsity football at Chester High and had a wide range of other athletic interests, including basketball, track and gymnastics.
He was drafted in August, 1966, and was shipped to Vietnam last September. He was a member of the 196th Light Brigade.
His wife, the former Dolores Feconda, 22, now lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Feconda, in Boothwyn, near Chester. She said her husband never complained about his service in Vietnam.
