"Bravo Zulu"

"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 Davis O'Donnell
January 1970 Dak To, Vietnam
Listed as KIA February 7, 1978

Thanks for your contribution to the thread. If you are interested in an online memorial to your loved one, I will develop such a site. I think it would be an excellent place for people on FreeRepublic to visit to read about the experiences of those who paid the ultimate price for us. Many could learn from reading those stories.
