Fr. Vince, I am glad you were there with the Marines and Corpsman on their final day on earth. Surely, the comfort you gave them eased their fears and aided them in their final journey. God bless you, Father and I pray you shall be elevated to Sainthood - a Saint for the Grunts.

NEVER FORGOTTEN

Dear Father Capodanno,

You died administering last rights to your fallen fellow Marines. A plack in your honor has been placed at the New York City Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
We will always remember your heroic acts.
FOREVER REMEMBERED



"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....

Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."



Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell

KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.



We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you,Father Capodanno, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:


May the LORD bless you and hold you in his arms... and rest forever in the Peace of our love, brother.



From your Nam-Brothers
