Dear Bob,

You were the first person I knew who gave it all. You were my brother's best friend and he still hasn't come to grips with your loss or his own service in Vietnam.

Thanks for putting up with me and letting me date your little sister. She grew up to be quite a lady and has a great husband and family. She also has remained really close to your Mom.

You'd be proud to know that your Mom is a terrific Gold Star mother, who has helped many other grieving families. She was also part of a driving force that built a hospital in 'Nam so that their world could be better.

Bob, from one grunt to a cannon cocker, Welcome Home. Requiescat en pacam.

From a friend,
Ken Jones, Co D 2/5 Cav 71-72
455 Daniels Street, Fitchburg, Ma 01420
