YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN !
Fellow veteran
SGT E-5 7th Infantry d.m.z Korea 68/69.
Oh my friends , my friends forgive me that I live and you are gone.
There's a grief that can't be spoken there's a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window. Phantom shadows on the floor.
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will meet no more.
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me what your sacrifice was for.
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will sing no more...

Remembered always
On 22 Jan. 1969, Mark came up to me and started a conversation with me simply to get to know his new Lieutenant of three weeks better. It was an unusual act of genuine kindness that touched me deeply. Mark died latter that day helping to save the crew of a downed CH-46 chopper and in an attempt to link up with first platoon that had been ambushed during the same mission. His death haunts me still.

Mark you will always be remembered. I want you to know that you have always been in my thoughts and I have visited the wall many times and honored your place among the brave. You were a friend to me when we were kids and I’ve never forgotten those days at Boys Town in Miami, FL.
THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE GIVEN!

Fellow Marine
Well done Marine rest in peace
THE TIME you won your town the race We chaired you through the market-place Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. To-day, the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears: Now you will not swell the rout Of lads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. So set, before its echoes fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up The still-defended challenge-cup. And round that early-laurelled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, And find unwithered on its curls The garland briefer than a girl’s. A.E. Housman, "Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.
Isaiah 43:1 (REN)
