I my heart hurts for him and many more,, God Bless them all that have gone on and those that remained to keep a memory of them alive... My dad was in Vietnam, he was a mess Sgt. while there, but also was a door gunny and went and picked guys up dead or alive,, :( he stayed in after he got home, he passed away in 2008, it was still hard for him to speak of his tour... so sad..
