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.
From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Thank you
My name is Sarah and I am a senior in high school from Central Illinois. I am doing an assignment for one of my classes posting remembrances for those that lost their lives during the Vietnam War. Thanks you for putting your life on the line in defending our country. Your family is most likely very proud of you and thinking of you every day. Your friends are wishing you were here to experience all the good and bad times. I know that you are missing all of them too. I want you to know that even someone like me, who doesn’t personally know you, is thinking of you. Thank you for everything you have done of our country and for me. Even though you didn’t know it, You were making America better for me. You will always be remembered and respected. Sarah
