To my brother-in-law

We think of you often Bob. When you deployed as a brave Marine at the age of 22 years old, you truly believed you were helping the Vietnamese people. In your last letter home, you spoke of explosions nearby. You were also troubled by some of your fellow Marines just wanting "to kill". We pray for you and all the other young men who were sent off to war. We march for Peace for you, Bob. God Bless.
