He was my LT
I was with Terry on Mar.1 and was evacuated with him. We also lost Herb Klug that day. I believe 16 of us were medivaced. I liked Terry. He was a good man. I met his Dad, sister, uncles and cousins about 20 years later. I decorate his grave every Memorial Day.

Friend from Infantry OCS
Terry and I were roommates at Infantry Officer Candidate School, 1968-69 (51st OCS Co). He was a very bright, physically fit, and energetic man. He was a friend to everyone. I was deeply saddened when I read about his death in the 'Army Times' sometime during 1970. Welcome home, Terry.

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 heros 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 heros 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.
