Dear Lt., Byrnes: I knew, your mother and father and brother, through the church and I still feel sad, for them. I know how much, you meant, to them. Because of your sacrifice, I think you saved lives, of other men.

Bob was an intelligent, kind, caring, loving person. He was always there, when someone needed, help. He was proud, to serve and proud, to be a officer. He was a good son, a good brother, a good husband and to me, my friend. I'am proud to say, that Bob, you will, never be forgotten!

We were high school classmates
I learned of Bob's death, about 40, years ago. I was saddened, deeply and shocked. I went to school, with him and we were really good buddies. I have been to the wall in Washington, three times and each time, I go, I get Bob's name off of it, 38E-46 and keep it, in my bible. It doesn't get any easier. My husband also served, in Vietnam and fortunately and thanks to God, he returned. Bob was not as lucky. I hope all of you who went, to Our Lady Assumpiation and La Sierra, High school, with him, or just knew him, will try to remember him. He died as a hero and should not, be forgotten. God Bless your family, Bob Byrnes. I know you, are with them. Your friend, Donna (Lewis) Piacentine

Bob, I remember Hwy., 50, right outside of Jackson Rd. and your father's white jag. . . I was a little cramped in the back, in that two seater, but hey, it was a jag. I followed you to Vietnam, in 1967, but you never new that. Some day, we will take another ride in your olds., 442, or that blue ford xl 500, together. Thanks, for the sacrafice.

For Lt., Robert Scott Byrnes, ( Bob)
Unselfishly, you left your fathers and your mothers, You left behind your sisters and your brothers. Leaving your beloved children and wives, You put on hold your dreams, your lives. On foreign soil, you found yourself planted, To fight for those whose freedom, you granted. Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost, But you carried onward, no matter the cost. Many horrors, you had endured and seen. Many faces had haunted your dreams. You cheered as your enemies littered the ground, You cried as your brothers, fell all around. When it was over, you all came back home, Some were left with memories, to face all alone. Some found themselves in the company of friends, As their crosses cast shadows, across the land. Those who survived, were forever scarred Emotionally, physically, permanently marred. Those who did not, now sleep eternally Beneath the ground, they had given their lives, to keep us free. With a hand upon my heart, I feel The pride and respect my reverence, is revealed In the tears, that now stream down my upturned face, As our flag waves above you, in her glory and grace. Freedom was the gift that you unselfishly gave, Pain and death was the price, that you ultimately paid. Every day, I give my utmost admiration To those, who had fought to defend, our nation. ~Author Unknown
