Remembering Andy
We try to remember, but as the time fades so does our memory. Andy was a member of my unit and although we weren't close I still remember him. I left country shorty after Andy came and that was a common thing. We trickled in a few at a time replacing the guys rotating home. I only wish we were able to find some more photo's of him. If your interested in his unit (CoC 701 Maintenance) we have a website dedicated to the 16 men who gave their lives from the 701 battalion. www.701mb.com is the website. Fade as they do, these memory will be with me always.

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'll Never Forget What You've Done For Me
My name is Cassi Fever and I attend Gridley High School in Gridley Illinois. I am posting this remembrance for a school project which has been recognized by the media and newspapers. I would like to thank you for what you have done for our country. You were brave enough to give your life so that people like myself and my fellow classmates could live in freedom.
God Bless Cassi Fever
