My next door neighbor and my older brother's best friend
Hi Lenny,
This is Tom Schiera, all grown up now. It's been almost 50 years since I have spoken to you. I was only 9 when you left for Vietnam in Feb, 1967. I was also the one who answered our back door on that Sunday morning when we learned of your death, when Dallas English came by and told me. Even now, I can still remember it like it was yesterday and yet it is still hard to believe you're gone. 19 years old is way too young for anyone to die. I still have the silver paratrooper wings that you gave to me the day before you deployed. I I also want to thank you for having given me all your old monster models...they were awesome! I think of you often and so does my brother, your best friend and brother-in-arms, Sam, who served in Vietnam from Oct. '67-Oct. 68. I will be visiting your grave again on the 50th anniversary of your passing, June 8, 2017. How can it be 50 years already since we lost you? I pray for your soul Lenny, and I want to thank you for the ultimate sacrifice you made for all of us here at home. You were a brave and honorable soldier. I still wish we'd had more time to have gotten to know each other; I was just a kid when you left and you were a very young man. You are the only person who ever stole my toast and ate it in the mornings when you'd come over to get a ride to school with Sam. :) Those are memories I recall with a smile. I miss you Lenny, and I always will.
We love you and may God Bless you. Rest in peace, brave soldier. Tom
