Remembering An American Hero
Dear HM2 Harold Martin Sloan, 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

We just discovered Bud's name is on one of many signs lining the east and west sides of Vietnam Veteran's Parkway from Gallatin to Hendersonville, TN. We're proud and humbled to see him, and the other veterans who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country, honored in this manner.

I'm the One Called Doc
"I'm the One Called "Doc…"
I shall not walk in your footsteps,
but I will walk by your side.
I shall not walk in your image,
I've earned my own title of pride.
We've answered the call together,
on sea and foreign land.
When the cry for help was given,
I've been there right at hand.
Whether I am on the ocean
or in the jungle wearing greens,
Giving aid to my fellow man,
be it Sailors or Marines.
So the next time you see a corpsman
and you think of calling him "squid",
Think of the job he's doing
as those before him did.
And if you ever have to go out there
and your life is on the block,
Look at the one right next to you…
I'm the one called "Doc".

Bud and I became friends our senior year of high school, in Hendersonville, TN. He was a tall guy, probably 6'4", at least, and a good guy. I remember he and Allen Roberts were best friends, and the three of us aggravated each other during the entire senior trip bus ride to Washington, DC! I recall Bud telling us of his decision to join the Navy after high school, and I remember his visit home on leave. I was one of his pall bearers when he made his final trip home.
