A Father's Day greeting to our men who never had the chance to become fathers. I salute you! The older I get, the more I think about those men whose life was cut short.

may we all remember, those we were with in Vietnam, it was great to see some at the reunion, I have talked to many since then, we went through many things, that most of who had not been there could not understand. Today, Memorial Day 2015, 50 years after we were there, My Pastor Al Roose And His Wife were with myself and my wife Linda. He told me it was interesting to listen to all of the stories, he said they were stories he had heard from me, Pastor was very impressed with the displays. We must remember, those of our unit that we have lost, both in country, and after. I had 2 brothers also in country, Mike spent 2 tours as a medic and never got over it, he died at 49 because he never got over what he saw, my other brother Darrell was a combat engineer, he lives in Greeley Co. TODAY IS A DAY TO REMEMBER, WELCOME HOME

I have to pass the sad news of my twin brother passing away this Mothers Day, (Rattler 31)May 10,2015. SP/5 Gordon Sundt was not only my best friend but fellow veteran. We often talked about our time in the Army and Vietnam. I was with the 720th MP Bn in Long Binh and we were blessed to have spent our 20th Birthdays together. Rest in peace Bro...

Ditto to Mike's posting below and a very warm "WELCOME HOME" to all of my brothers who were fortunate enough to come home. We all certainly have a lot to be thankful for.

Another year has come and gone and Memorial Day is almost here where we can remember and honor the 55 men in our company who gave their lives for our country. We also lost 8 more of our men, including 1 who was awarded the Medal of Honor while serving in country on additional tours. Each year more and more of the men who served in the company and came home are no longer with us. Next Monday, I am going to remember and honor all of them. They are all missed. God bless them all. For all of those that I served with and those that I have met over the last 48 years, thank you for your service. I hope to see you in Dallas in May 2016.

Reply - Ron Olson on Nimoy; Hey man I enjoyed your comment, in four little lines, the repetitive walk to the club, the drinking, the distractions we had to have... you presented a picture of an entire year of our lives back then, cool.
