I wish we were there too Sam. We would go with you, it would meam so much to me to do that, so very much. I know we can't this year, but we sure will next year and all the rest.
When you go, we will be there in our hearts,and Roger will be there too, he will be standing next to another vet named Johnny Bartlett.
I met Johnny in Nam my first time I was there, he took me around in the Huey.He served two tours,made me laugh when we were shot down when he saw I had become very quiet,wiped my tears as we left some of the firebases , handed me a rag to wipe the blood from my clothes when I hugged the wounded,so many things.
Then came home to find another America, but held his head high knowing he did what he had to do, he answered the call for a country he so dearly loved.......America
He went back for his second tour and never made it home again.
For Roger and Johnny and all that have served.They will live in our hearts into forever.

My high school friend, Jerry Georges will also be standing there. He never made it home again either. And a couple of my husband's high school friends who enlisted with him also never made it home. They will all be there.

Thank you for telling us about Johnny Bartlett. I know that was hard for you to remember and write down.
