My fallen friend in Nam
Virgil was with bravo company and I was with echo company. We were in the same training platoon at Ft Mclellan Alabama and ended up in the same battalion in Vietnam. On that morning of 3-17-68, we were in a small firebase called Firebase Dagger about 3 miles or so south of Saigon. I was about 70-80 feet from Virgil as he was boarding a helicopter early that morning to leave on a mission. I yelled at him and held up a beer and toasted him. I got the news later that evening that he had gone off into eternity. He was one of the kindest, most gentle, people I had ever known. I will always remember his gentle smile. Hope to teunite with him in heaven someday. Thanks friend for paying for what I have enjoyed these many years…….Freedom !!!! Jack Thompson Indiana
