Notes from The Wall:

My father was there.....
The day you died in Tay Ninh Province. Dad is not one to speak of the war much, but he told me he was walking next to you when the company was ambushed and you were shot. He saw your brave struggle to survive and your passing. I think Dad still carries guilt to this day that he survived but you did not. He remembers you, and so will I. Rest In Peace.
