Thank you
2LT Allen gave his life for my father. He died trying to pull him off Hill 689. I will never forget you and I will do my best to honor you in some way. Thank you isn't enough, but it's all I have. May you rest in peace.

Greatly loved and sadly missed.
Dale's family experienced a moving Memorial Day this past May (2001) when the guest speaker was giving his address and quoted the grave location in our local cemetery without identifying him first. He proceeded to tell how Dale and himself were buddies in school together and that because of what he saw on the tombstone April 4, 1941 - June 27, 1967 Dale had completed is duties here on earth. When he went to his own tombstone he seen his birth date with a - (dash) He reminded us all that we are living in the dash part of our lives and should make the most of it. As his niece, and living close by I have taken the responsiblity of caring for the grave site. Each Memorial Day it is trimed in RED WHITE AND BLUE. I was only about 2 when he left for Vietnam and have one special picture with him holding my sister and I in his uniform. I think of him often and any information anyone would have would be wonderful. Dale's mother Rosella Allen is still living along with his three brothers, Gary, Terry and Neal in his hometown. God Bless America

Gratitude
I never knew you or have ever even seen your name before today, but I know you when I look into my fathers' eyes each day. My father was 2 years older, and was in Vietnam in the early years, and made it home in 1964. My father has rid himself of all his medals and ribbons for all of you whose name embrace the wall. He feels he did not deserve them as he made it home, for you are the heroes who deserve recognition. So for you and all whose name embrace the wall I have written something so you know your memory lives on. Gratitude. For my Father, Charles R McLeaster USMC, Vietnam Walking out of my door I can honestly breathe My son by side, a sigh of relief I can look at the stars, I can run through the trees I can see the sunset with my mind put at ease Little league games and droplets of dew I owe all that I have, everything, all to you Out there on the front lines, risking your lives Those in the air making their sacrifice Putting your fears and souls at bay So I can have one more story, one more day All those before me, and all of you now Fighting for my life and freedom somehow Gratitude I could not possibly repay One more life you saved today.
