We served together in Vietnam. Its been 38 years since we last served with one another Dickie, a lifetime ago for sure, but you are still in my memory as that friend,that older guy who treated me like a brother. I still have those pictures of us each holding that bird we bought off that kid who said it couldnt fly, yet somehow did after we got down the road a few klicks. You are the guy I wanted to be like. You live on in my heart and in my memories and in the stories I have told my children about someone special who inspired me. Rest in peace brother.
