Sgt. U.S.M.C. 6/24/1964 - 2/29/1968 (leap year)
Medically retired on disability
Vietnam service with Echo battery, 12th. Marine Regt. 7/1965 - 3/1967
Since Memorial Day -- Decoration Day as it was once known -- is about & for those who made the Supreme Sacrifice, lest I forget:
PFC David L Felt , USMC, DOB 04/05/46, Sacramento, CA KIA 08/17/65
Lt. Peter Paul Domiano, USMC, DOB 10/18/43, Industry, NY KIA 07/01/66
PFC Billy Dean Nelson, USMC, DOB 06/30/47, Lommis, NE KIA 07/20/66
PCF Bradley Alan Pearson, USMC, DOB 11/27/46,Clear Lake, WI KIA 07/20/66
And most of all:
PFC John Alton Girod JR, USMC, DOB 06/14/44, Denham Springs, LA KIA 02/21/66
The German song "Ich hatte einen Kameraden" --"I had a comrade" is played on German Remembrance Day . Part of it goes:
A bullet flew towards us
meant for me or meant for you?
It took him away,
he lies beneath my feet
like a piece of myself.

The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Army Security Agency, Viet Voice Intercept Operator
11th Armored Cavalry / 409th RRD
NSA
(Viet Nam volunteer, VFW, American Legion, Oathkeeper)
Remembering
* Sp5 Harry J Colon, one of my replacements, whom I never met (sniper fire)
Remembering comrades and their aggrieved families:
* Sgt. Donald Sykes, my track driver (sniper fire, killed 2nd tour with 11th Cav)
* 1st Lt. John F. Cochrane, truly the finest officer I ever met; a young officer who played cards, joked and wrestled with troops on down time, yet commanded their unanimous and absolute respect and loyalty; and who (I learned 35 years later from his lovely widow) prayed daily over his men. Ambushed in jeep by land mine, then killed with sniper fire. Was due for R&R within a week with his newly wedded sweetheart in Hawaii - a tearjerker for me every year.
Let us also not forget those
- who served this country, whether in a combat zone or not;
- are still suffering by fighting their own battles emotionally and mentally;
- never were found (MIA); and
- are still at their battlefield from their injuries - at home, in VA hospitals, and elsewhere:
the all but forgotten heroes who are still at war;
- and for those who are serving now.
And for the ultimate Peacekeeper Who gave His life in the spiritual battle for our souls - Jesus Christ
Indeed, there is a lot to remember on this Holiday...
God bless and keep you all, and your families, with a sincere hand salute.
