Remembering An American Hero
Dear CPL George Sidelko, 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

Those Were The Day's My Friend
George was looked up to by many of his under classmen. I was fortunate to play football with George and his sister was a friend we graduated together. Several days ago I traveled to Washington DC for the motorcycle run to the Vietnam Wall. I have been the caretaker of a large photo of George taken in Vietnam. There is a long history about the picture that took place over 30 years. I first visited the Vietnam Wall several days after it was dedicated. I have worked for the Dept. of Defense for over 35 years. I always wanted to leave the picture at the wall so when we are all gone someone will look at George's picture and see one of the many real American Heros that gave all. I am happy to say that it was a long journey but my mission has been accomplished.His photo will be included in the Vietnam Museum. George you are now with your fellow warriors may you "Rest In Peace"

Never Forgotten
FOREVER REMEMBERED
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."
Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.
We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:
Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.
