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.

A hero among us.
Lloyd, we just held our 60th reunion for our graduating class. Those of us who knew and loved you from the 1963 Lowell High School class mentioned you but had few details about your death in Viet Nam. I have now read of your heroism and the extraordinary act you performed. My heart aches and goes out to your mother. Rest in peace, dear Lloyd. You made us prouder than we could ever have imagined.

Thank You
Dear Sp4 Lloyd Slack, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Your 78th birthday was 2 days ago, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Winter will end soon, and Lent has begun. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
