“You are Remembered”
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!!!

LTC Parson ( although at the time he was my ROTC instructor he was a Major) was a man for whom I had the utmost respect. He was able to take young college boys and turn them into men and more importantly officers in the United States Army. I shall never forget him and all kindness and toughness which important to later in my life. He was and is , in my mind a true teacher ( to me that is the highest compliment one man could receive). To all who knew Colonel Parsons, he had our respect and admiration !

I was searching through the names of Veterans on the wall and have found only ONE match. That match has been to Parsons, Donald E. I traveled to Vietnam to backpack in 2000 and was there for over a month. One day I saw some dogtags in a glass case and was shocked to see them there. It made me nauseous because I thought our government would have surely gone over there and retrieved them. Not so. Throughout my trip, it sort of became my mission.to bring home as many tags as i could find. And that was what i did. I thought that even if i never found any of the soldiers who wore them, at least they would be on "American soil". Some have questioned their authenticity, but I don't listen to what the skeptics say. I have returned 2 tags so far and simply would like to return as many more as possible.and let the Veterans decide for themselves. Anyway, I have a Dogtag labeled: "Parsons, Donald E." Incidentally, some of the tags I brought back have a newer, cleaner look to them. This tag doesn't. My HOPE is that a family member could contact me so we could exchange more of the information on the tag and discover if this is the "SAME" Donald E. Parsons.
