Hi, Don. I remember you when you were 15 or 16 and had a "thing" for my cousin (which didn't last past that summer). I think it was two years before I found out about your death. One Memorial Day, I was reading a list of people from Rochester who had been killed in Viet Nam. And there you were. That saddened me. You were so young and handsome. You are now at peace with God.

Donald, I never knew you - - I live, in your hometown and am, a sister Marine. You know, how they always say, "Once a Marine, always a Marine." Well it is true. You passed, from this life a hero, Donald. Sept., 7th, is the birthday of one, of my closest friends - - now I will always think, of you, on that day also. I know, you are missed, by many - - - including all, of your fellow Marines - - - All gave some, some gave all - - - Semper Fi, my brother - - - One of The Few - - Darby
