A Friend

Bruce and I served together at Eglin AFB (66-67, 1920th comm sq.), Florida. He and I were room-mates. We had many a good time playing sports, going to beach, and just being friends. I always think of him on Feb 18th, the day he was lost and his birthday Feb 19.

Thank You

Thank you for the price you paid. I wish I had gotten to know you and more about you. Thank you for the most wonderful gift and that is freedom. When I am again home in Endicott NY I will drive up and visit your grave site.

Local hero

EVERYONE here should get at least one remembrance. Bruce once lived across the river from me and is remembered on the Rennselaer County Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Bless the Carey family.
