honoring you....
There is a place
Not far from here
Where spirits walk
And heroes live
And honor still resides.
It is a wall
With names inscribed
Of those who served
When they were asked...
The brothers of my youth.
I go there still
To walk and think
About my life,
And what I've done since
And things that might have been.
There is a debt
I can't repay
Too many lives were spent.
And one man's life cannot suffice
To make their deaths worthwhile.
But there is hope
In the memory
Of those we leave behind
Who know the price that freedom brings
Who can carry on in kind.
I send you now
To touch a name
So the vision can be passed
Remember there is honor still
It is for you to see it lasts.
They are not dead
And have a wish
As all old soldiers do
The reflection you see before you now
Is their wish to live in you.

Final Mission of SGT Lee E. Sinclair
SGT Lee E. Sinclair was a Special Forces instructor serving at the 5th Special Forces Group’s Recondo School in Nha Trang, RVN. The program, known as Project Delta, Recondo School instructors like Sinclair trained American soldiers as well as members of other allied forces in the art of long-range reconnaissance patrolling techniques. Field instruction generally included a high level of physical fitness, knowledge of patrolling techniques, first aid, land navigation, radio procedures, weapons familiarity, and concluded with an actual combat patrol to demonstrate the students' skills. On May 29, 1969, Sinclair was on a mission and reportedly in a night defensive position in Khanh Hoa Province, RVN, when a white phosphorous grenade was accidently detonated. He was critically injured and died shortly thereafter. Sinclar was posthumously promoted to Staff Sergeant.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear SSGT Lee Elden Sinclair, 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, Sir
Curt Carter
