***** Dean, some of my earliest memories are of going to the farm to see Uncle Butch and Aunt Carol. My dad kept his horses there and I can remember the great Sunday dinners Aunt Carol always made, and although I was only 5-6 years old, I can still recall 6-7 of us sitting around the table eating. I'll never forget the night I heard of your death, as I walked into the kitchen with my ice skates on, I noticed my mom was crying. As an eleven yr. old, this brought the war home to me. It took me a long time to fully realize that we would no longer see your smiling, handsome face. I didn't know you long, but the memories are as real as if it were yesterday. God Bless you Dean.

***** Dean: I did not, know you. As a young Dr., in Rogers City, in 1970, the Sheriff asked me to go to your home on a hill in Hawks, MI.. while they delivered this sad message, that you'd been killed in Service. I was unprepared. Your parents were Dad, with a "wall-eye" was slowly weeping. Your Mom solid as any German Frau could ever be, held the fort. These poor farm folks paid a terrible price with the dignity of their ancestors. They carried on and I cared for them for many years. They were proud of you and you should be proud of them. Of such stock, is our country made. Meg'wetch.

***** Howdy Jim; Your best shot to try to find someone who knew PFC Dean Walter Borrousch would be to leave a message in the Guestbook of the 2nd/60th Inf. website at http://www.2nd60th.org/ or send an e-mail to one of the officers of their association. This is because the Coffelt KIA Database says that PFC Borrousch's unit was B Company, 2nd Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division. However, you should mention the time period. PFC Borrousch's tour of duty in Vietnam started on 11/9/69 and he was KIA on 2/19/70 in Long An Province due to "Hostile, Ground Casualty, Gun, Small-Arms Fire." At that time, only the 3rd Brigade [6th/31st, 2nd/47th (Mech), 2nd/60th , and 5th/60th Inf. Battalions] of the 9th Inf. Div. was left in Vietnam. The 2nd/60th was stationed at Tan Tru which was about 35 Km. south-by-southwest of Saigon in the Mekong River Delta area of Vietnam.
