Military Photo May Not Be David
I'm reaching out to friends and family members of David Leigh Burnett. I grew up with David. We became friends in Kindergarten. We went to the same schools from
Elementary through High School. We graduated AV High School 1967. I knew when he went into the Army and I was deeply saddened when he was KIA April 1969, Vietnam. I visit the AV Wall which is displayed annually here in the Antelope Valley for Veterans Day. I always find David's name, pause and remember.
David lived in Lancaster, CA until he was drafted into the Army. This record shows place of origin as Lone Pine, CA.
The civilian photos posted is the David I remember.
I will honor David's name and remember his sacrifice forever.
Sincerely,
Linda Santana (Kearney)

Playing Baseball In The Dark
Lightwood street in the second half of the fifties and til 67' was David's turf.
We played whiffle ball in the street, hardball in the Sunnydale school yard, and of course at Park View little league. We rode our bikes to the little league field every night, even if our team was not playing, chasing foul balls for the treat. AVHS had a great baseball team in the sixties.
We were both From Okie/Arkie families, Southern Baptists, not much money, lots in common. We loved Chevies and girls
We loved baseball so much we played in the dark. Am sure David is still playing ball in the dark.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear SP4 David Leigh Burnett, 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
