If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.

Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.

And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."

Major Michael O'Donnell KIA March 24, 1970 Dak To, Vietnam

God Bless the Marine Corps. We owe them more than we could dream of ever affording.

Matocha was a Marine, not a soldier.

** I think Donald would have approved of what's happening. My feeling is that Donald, in his own way is still serving his country." **

More than what Kerry did!

God bless this soldier and his family.

Dallas native Carl Edwin Long, killed in December 1969 when his CV-10 aircraft crashed,

That would be an OV-10 Bronco.
