In Remembrance

"These heroes ... died for liberty — they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless ... they are at peace."
-- R.G. Ingersoll (1833-1899)

You and your loved ones are in our thoughts and hearts.

Thank you

I was born on Aug. 8, 1969. I found this site and did a search of those who died on my birthdate in Vietnam. I was so moved to read about them. I wanted to leave a note on this page to honor this man for his sacrifice in service to our country. While my parents and friends rejoiced, his weeped. I am now 33, and realize more clearly that every birthday that I celebrate is a day of rememberance for this young soldier's family and friends. I will remember him from now on as well.
Sincerely,

Roy went down in the first volley that day. Although I did not know him that well, he and the others will never be forgotten.
