Ted Sampley was a Viet Nam Veteran, and activist for POW/MIA's and he stood with us at Walter Reed on 30 September 2005 when Rolling Thunder paid us a visit. Ted and I became friends with the common thread being our complete and total hatred of code pink. The obituary says a lot, but it doesn't do justice to the passion Ted had for his Viet Nam veteran brothers, or the passion he had for this current generation of Warriors. The world has lost a good man, but he is in good company, re-united with his brothers from "The Herd"
