Memoriam to 1LT Florence: Died of wounds sustained in action in Quang Ngai, South Vietnam.

Dexter was a hero in every sense of the word. He loved his country, and served it proudly. He was taken from us too soon, as were 58,000 other brothers, sons, fathers. From Dexter's family to the other families who lived through what we did.it is our sincere hope that they all find peace and comfort somehow, that their loved one was indeed a hero, and that there are so many people who DO appreciate and understand their tremendous sacrifices.

I look for these posts from you every day - even when I don't have time to post, I look for yours, to see how many brave men we lost on 'this date'. Saturday's was way too high.

Thank you again and again, every day, for doing this, and for the additional touch you've been providing now for several days. God Bless All.
