The nights before...
I was less than 4 years old when he died. Yet somehow, I remember the night, days before he left for Vietnam, at my great grandmother's house. He was taking pictures of me and my cousin, Nita. It was an old box camera. Every Veteran's day, I think of him, but this is the first time I've googled his name.I'm glad to see others remember him. I would love to know more about him.

He Went In My Place
When
When I was ordered to Viet Nam, my wife was hospitalized and seriously ill. My assignment was put on hold and I was given a temporary deferment. I was never sent to Viet Nam but in 1970 sent to Germany instead. I have always felt that Ken died in my place. I think of him daily and remember him in prayer. I would like to visit his burial site in the near future..

Remembering An American Hero
Dear SP4 Kenneth Wayne Shamblin, 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
