Never Forgotten
Dear Bernie,
Here it is Memorial Day 2011. I haven't posted much recently, but I do visit your page on occassion. I now have an etching from the Wall of your name hanging in my office. It is an everyday remembrance of your sacrifice. It has brought me a measure of closure.

Hi Bernie, it has been 40 years since I last saw you but I want you to know that I think of you often and that the ultimate sacrifice you made for your country will never be forgotten.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lt. Col. John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)Canadian Army
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
THANKS AGAIN AUSSIE FRIENDS FOR THE POPPIES!

G'day Capt Bernie Albertson. Yet another year has past. It is said that a man is not gone until he is forgotten. This message is to ensure that you, Tom & John and your deeds are not forgotten. Lest we forget.

In Memoriam
Peter Aylett has posted here many times. He has a personal attachment to Bernie. What has not been posted here is a picture of the memorial erected by Peter and others to the memory of Bernie and the fallen Australian and Vietnamese comrades who served with Bernie and their untiring efforts to recover the crash site. I have attached a picture of that memorial so kindly sent me by Roy Zeglers.
The location is on Long Hai Mountain, Vietnam. No words of mine can express the gratitude and sorrow of the lose of a beloved friend and those he fought for and served with.

Thinking of you today on Veteran's Day. I got married this year and didn't have the heart to change my name. Hope that pleases you on some level. :)

Sorry I missed your anniversary. I have framed the etching I took from the traveling wall, along with a small American flag, and it is hanging here on my office wall. I see it and think of you every day. The sacrifice you made for your country and, more importantly, your fellow man will never be forgotten.
