along the same path

Like Wendell,I was also wounded near Dien Ban 6 most later. I was also a PFC with Delta 1-1 I was also sent to Clark AFB and was lucky enough to make it home after 2 weeks at Clark and 4 weeks in Japan. I'm glad I found your page Wndell and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

honoring you...

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.
