Hi All:

The last time I was shot down in Viet Nam my best friend was killed and today, on Memorial Day, his closest childhood friend stopped by to see me. It turns out he has been trying to contact me for several years and finally discovered my phone number. After all these years he still has copies of letters I had written explaining the events of that day. He just wanted to hear first hand what happened. When combat is reduced to history books we sometimes forget how personal it really is.
