LEFT FOR LEWIS ALBANESE

I read your story, Lewis...

You paid the ultimate price in an awesome act of conspicuous gallantry on December 1, 1966.

I read your story in the book "Bird" by military historian and Brigadier General S. L. A. Marshall.

I recommend it for anyone who reveres our heroes. Be sure to get the version that includes the story "Ambush," which is about Lewis.

May God continue to bless your soul, Lewis. Garry Owen.
