You will never be forgotten cousin by me because I was there in Vietnam at the same time you were.
I still wish today that you would have been the one to walk out of there and that I was the one that died there. My life has been a messed up roller coaster for 51 years now and I will be glad when it is over. I have hurt to many relatives & people over the years over this so called war that nobody wins. I miss you cousin

My music I listen to is Knock Knock On Heavens Door
I will be glad to hear this music because it should have been me at the time and not you > I would like your 2 sisters and your parents know this. I did not want to come back from there alive.. I want 50 years of my dreams to come true and I can be with you

Why you and not me
Garry I think of you a lot over the 51 years and I always do this alone because it is easier to punish my self because I wish it would have been me and not you to walk out over there . I really wish it would end today .

Why you and not me
I visit this memorial of you especially when the skeletons come out and for what I did it should have been me and not you walking out of there. I want this torture of mine to end that has been going on for over 50 years. I think you are the lucky one. I have made the VA responsible for me so nobody else needs to know and I can just disappear again.
