Never forgotten Hero, Lt., Bob Byrnes
Dear Lt., Byrnes's family and friends, I'm a grade 11, student, in Ontario, Canada, we were given a project, to do, on Vietnam Veterans, I had chosen, to do my project, On Lt., Robert Scott Byrnes (BOB) and from what, I had learned, Lt., Byrnes is an hero, in many ways. You all should, be very proud. I believe, that he and many others served, there Country well, to help bring, not only America, but Canada and many other country's, freedom. My personal goal is, to help make sure, that he and the other millions, of war vieterans, didn't die trying, for nothing, I will do my part, to try make peace, in my school, town and country. Doing this project, made me realize, that their is something, to look forward to, in the future. maybe one day, the courage of Lt., Bob Byrnes and the millions, who fought for our countries, will pay off, maybe one day, there will be peace. Thank you, Lt., Bob Byrnes and the many others, for your sacrifice, you're the heroes, of the world. Luv to all, Christina.

Bob was lifeguard, at Carmichael, park pool, when I was, in elementary school. Bob taught us, how to swim. I respected, him and had admiration, for him not only, as a lifeguard, but as a special person, who influenced, my life. His memory, has always been, with me. He will always be, in my heart and his memory, will always live, on.

We Still, Run Together
Bob was lieutenant, in the Light, Infantry Battalion. As a former enlisted man, commissioned, at Fort Sill, I was the oldest. Bob was, a solid officer, who enjoyed, life and loved, the Army. He was, a good and outstanding, officer and friend, to all and I have thought of him, often, through the years. When I finally, got up enough courage, to personaly view, The Wall in 2008, I searched for and found, his name. Through the tears and memories, I relived our times, at Fort Sill, OK., 42, years ago. His death has caused me, to be mindful, of my own mortality, all these years. I Think of him, still and I miss him. For Bob & your family, we didn't forget about you, for it has been, 40, years. Rev:21, 3&4.

HARD TO BELIEVE OVER FORTY YEARS HAVE PASSED
Bob I Wish I Could Hear Your Laughter And See Your Smile
You can not believe how much I have thought about you over the years. When I heard you were killed in Vietnam, I just fell to my knees and said a prayer, I miss you and all the laughter and good times we shared together. I raise a cup in your honor and pour some out for you. And to let you know you are not forgotten

May his friends and family find comfort in their memories
I was a year behind Bob in high school. My dad was friends with Bob's father. While in the Army, my dad told me that Bob had been killed shortly after I arriving in country. I was back in Carmichael in June and visited the high school where they have a nice plaque in the nature area with Bob's name and other's graduates who died in Vietnam. I honor Bob's courage and sacrifice. May his friends and family find comfort in Bob's memories.

“You are Remembered”
Someone once wrote, "How can it be that someone so young can give their life for their county and so few acknowledge his sacrifice. Some of us care. A simple thank you seems so inadequate, but it is all I have." Rest in peace with the warriors. Bob has not been forgotten.
