FAMILY TIES

I will never forget you volunteered to go to Vietnam instead of your brother, Thomas, my husband. You did that because we had just gotten married. There isn't a day go by that I don't think about that.
I know that the 2 of you are together now. When my husband was passing, he called out your name.
THANK YOU JOHN for your kind heart.
