As I place my flag in front of our house I will be thinking of 5 high school
classmates who died in Vietnam. Four were from my class of ‘65. One
was drafted the same day I was. We rode the same Greyhound Bus to the
induction center in LA. We were assigned to the same hotel room during
our overnight stay. He was a very fine young man. FFA - wanted to be a
farmer like his grandpa.
Another person I will be thinking about is the new guy who came on our
team 2 weeks before I went home. He was killed by a sniper after only
30 days into his 12 month tour. 19 years old.
Salute!
