Thank you, MamaB...I salute your friend...
He was one of the real good ones. I went from 1st grade through college with him. He was an only child. In the 90’s, his mom was in the nursing home with my mom. She screamed all night long, looking for her son. It was a very sad situation. I appreciate all who served. My older brother flew bombers during the Korean War. Before and after that, he and others flew through mushroom clouds. He was the last one of his group to die in 2006. He was on over 20 kinds of meds when he died. Radiation exposure was terrible on all of them.
