An American Hero

I am posting this because of my recent growth of knowledge of Vietnam I have learned in my English class. Thank you for serving so the US can be free. You are a true American hero. Without good people like you, there would not be a free United States. Thank you.

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 heroes 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 heroes 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

I am a high school student at Gridley High School and I am doing this for my U.S. History class and I just wanted to say thank you. You gave your life up not just for me but for other people to. Even though I didn't know you I still appreciate what you did. You arn't alive to see how everyone in our country lives today but thanks to you, you helped make our country advanced and you didn't even get a chance to see what you did. We all appreciate that.

William Tony Brock

One of the really good guys I was fortunate to grow up with in Wilburton, Oklahoma. He was a senior member of our football team when I was a sophomore and he sort of took me under his wing since I played behind him on offense. I still remember the day at school when I was a senior that we were told that Tony had been killed in Viet Nam. Our community and our country lost a fine American on that day, many of us lost a good friend also.
