Quintessential platoon leader
Hello Phil, I never got to say goodbye. I was in Aussie on R&R and returned to the field perimeter (CP) and learned that you paid the ultimate sacrifice. I was heartbroken since I thought so much of you. You coached me through my cherry period in Nam as my first platoon leader. That was the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons and a difficult transition period. You showed me compassion as a new guy in that perdicament and it was tremendously appreciated. Furthermore, I knew you had come back to the field as a result of insufficient qualified officers in the rear. I believe you were XO and came back out to relace LT Weaver after the big boobytrap explosion. Only to have your life taken in a command detonated one. I'm so sorry to not have been their for you as you were for me. You are, as are many, always in my thoughts and prayers. I so proud to have served with true American heroes. I love you and it was an honor to serve with you. Sgt. Owen McNamara

Peace and condolence, to the family and friends. "He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother”. Rest in peace brave soldier, you have not been forgotten. (W.Shakespeare) May God Bless You for your Sacrifice!!!

I never met this man but I was in country also at the time of his death. Just had to leave a note to recognize his sacrifice when I saw no one else had. Thank you, Sir.
