Thank you for your service

I got to know Terry by chance going to Vietnam on the Alexander M Patch boat. From Boston to V. N. I was a Medic also. We were with the 196th L.I.Brigade. I was with the 8th MED Co. I was on duty when he arrived on a helicopter, I help unload his body and notice his name on the tag. I was totally in shock. Terry was the first person killed in action with the 196th brigade. This happened in TayNing Provence. Only in our second week there. So young, God gained a great soldier. He'll be in my thoughts the rest of my life!
Any one in the family, please contact me, Thank You.

I went to Stepinac where I first met Terry, we didn't have a lot of interaction, but he was the type of person you immediately liked and felt comfortable with. I then ran into Terry again at Ft. Dix where he was going thru Basic Training and I was in Advanced Infantry Training, this was 1965. I was deeply saddened when I heard about his death when I returned from overseas. I made sure to look up Terrys name on the Wall and said a prayer. Today is Memorial Day 2020 and I went over to Lasdon Park in Somers where they have a Vietnam Memorial for all those from Westchester who made the supreme sacrifice. I thanked Terry for his service and let him know we still remember. SGM John Peters, U.S. Army Ret.
