Remembering Lt. Zanca
I was in 2nd Platoon and Lt. Zanca was our commanding Officer. He was not like other Officers he thought of his men as we were all equal. He was funny and very proud he was a dad and a married man from the great state of Texas.
I was approximately 30 feet from where he was as we were leaving LZ Leslie. He had sit down for a minute and mortar’s began coming in. One hit just to his left side and he was wearing a flax vest without a collar that day and passed from his wounds.
You were a great Officer and think about you and your family often. RIP Sir!

Remembering Pete in Roanoke, VA
I only remember Pete from one year of high school (8th, I guess) at William Fleming High School in Roanoke, VA, in either 1954 or 1955. I remember how nice and cute I thought he was with his almost white, curly hair. I remember him riding the Williamson Road bus (no school buses back then). I can't believe I still remembered his name, but guess because it was so unusual. I'm not sure how I thought he had been killed in Vietnam, maybe there was an article in our local paper back then. Anyway, rest in peace, Pete.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear 1LT Peter Allen Zanca, 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
