Remembering You Today
Johnny, just want to say that you are being remembered today, the day you met your fate! Rest in Peace Hero! Your Niece Jamie, Leroy's daughter, contacted me and asked if I could share some of the experiences you and I had with her and your daughter Glenda. I guess you know your ex passed away a few years ago. You have not been forgotten by family or friends Johnny! RIP!

I Remember You and Will As Long As I Live
Vietnam O Vietnam
Trees in the old days used to stand
And shape a shady lane
Where lovers wandered hand in hand
Who came from Carentan.
This was the shining green canal
Where we came two by two
Walking at combat-interval.
Such trees we never knew.
The day was early June, the ground
Was soft and bright with dew.
Far away the guns did sound,
But here the sky was blue.
The sky was blue, but there a smoke
Hung still above the sea
Where the ships together spoke
To towns we could not see.
Could you have seen us through a glass
You would have said a walk
Of farmers out to turn the grass,
Each with his own hay-fork.
The watchers in their leopard suits
Waited till it was time,
And aimed between the belt and boot
And let the barrel climb.
I must lie down at once, there is
A hammer at my knee.
And call it death or cowardice,
Don't count again on me.
Everything's all right, Mother,
Everyone gets the same
At one time or another.
It's all in the game.
I never strolled, nor ever shall,
Down such a leafy lane.
I never drank in a canal,
Nor ever shall again.
There is a whistling in the leaves
And it is not the wind,
The twigs are falling from the knives
That cut men to the ground.
Tell me, Master-Sergeant,
The way to turn and shoot.
But the Sergeant's silent
That taught me how to do it.
O Captain, show us quickly
Our place upon the map.
But the Captain's sickly
And taking a long nap.
Lieutenant, what's my duty,
My place in the platoon?
He too's a sleeping beauty,
Charmed by that strange tune.
Vietnam O Vietnam
Before we met with you
We never yet had lost a man
Or known what death could do.

Remembered on this Memorial Day
Johnny, thinking about you on the day we celebrate you hero's! Rather have you here drinking a beer but not to be. I was corrected by your friend Lorenzo, he was in your unit, that your rescues were not associated with the 'dustoff team' but a Medical extraction of it's own! What ever the situation, it's still the same as you are an AMERICAN HERO! Rip Johnny!

Always Think of You at this time.....
Johnny, I remember you always at these important times of honor to our Veterans, as well as often as I remember our school years. You effected my life more than you know in your short time on the planet. I have visited your gravesite several times over the years, & think of the boy I knew, & the man you had become. My most important memory of you was our speaking on a friends balcony at their Labor Day Celebration in Sept., 1968, & us discussing becoming 21! I had that event only a few days before, & you were just three weeks away from yours. I am now 63, & still remember that conversation with you & our anticipation of finally being grown, & life to come..... that went on for me here, motherhood, grandchildren, work, life in it's full expression. Of course I believe life is never ending, & you have gone on, joining your Dad so quickly, but it is important everyone to know we connected & mattered while here. You did my friend!! Bless you.

My Greatest Loss of the War
I'm now 63 years old. The second of my two tours in Vietnam ended in Dec. 1968. I've been to The Wall many, many times and I've been to Johnny's grave site. The only graveside visit I've made of any of my fallen comrades. I can not, will not, ever, ever forget my friend. I honor and praise the man he was in life and I cherish the love I hold for him in death. The bravest person I've ever met.
