Your Radio Operator
Captain Bynum,
I was your radio operator for a period of time while serving with 3/26. I can still see you wearing the white parachute you clipped from a flare as an ascot .... see it plain as day.
Your leadership was strong and consistant, and I thank you for that. Just prior to your death, I was pulled from 3/26 and sent to Hill 950 in Khe Sahn. I was wounded 7/26/67, just a month after you were hit and evacuated back to the States.
I think about you, sir, and others I so proudly served with. May God bless and keep you.
Semper Fi ......

"THINK OF ME"
You know you cannot bring me back,
You know that I am gone,
I walk the streets of Heaven now,
It's my eternal home,
But think of me now and then,
Just as you do today,
Remember that I died for you,
So America could stay,
A land where men are equal,
A land where men are free,
A land I lived and died for,
When you think of Freedom,
"THINK OF ME".

"I TRIED"
"I TRIED" my best to save you,
Both you and God know "I TRIED",
"I TRIED" to stop the hand of death,
As I knelt there by your side,
"I TRIED" everything that I could do,
During the fire-fight in Nam that day,
But no matter how hard "I TRIED",
There was nothing I could do or say,
I stared deep into your eyes,
I held you as you died,
And though no words were spoken,
I believe you know "I TRIED".
