ROTC Instructor
Sgt. Cash was my ROTC instructor at Kamehameha School. He was a good man.
He was a senior NCO (Sgt.Major) by the time he was KIA in Vietnam. What a sad loss of a career soldier near the end of his career.
My prayers are with him and his family.

Never Forgotten
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, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:
Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.
From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

I remember Sgt Cash
Sgt Cash was my ROTC instructor in 1966 at St. Louis High School. He was an honest man and treated everyone with respect.
It was through his example I learned military conduct.
His example is not forgotten.

I am a senior at Gridley High School and we are putting out remembrances for lives that were lost in the war. I wanted to let you know that many are remembering you today. You are a superb man and wanted to tell you that you will be remembered and missed by many. Your courage that you had in the war shows you were a true American, I hope one day I will have as much courage as you once had. Thank you and God Bless!!
