It has now been 38 years since that fateful night in a rice paddy of thousands where you were taken from us. A day doesn't go by where I don't think of you and what you meant to me. I'm here today because of your mentoring and teaching on how to survive. I still feel the guilt of not going out with you that night thinking that if I had would you still be with us would you have had a chance to get to see your girls grow up. I know you would be proud of them. I have had the opportunity to speak with them and I told them what a great person you were and how you helped me and became not only my mentor but my best friend as well.

God bless you Neal, thank you for the time I had with you. I know you're protecting the citizens of Heaven the way you protected us here on Earth. One day we shall meet again!! Perry (Huck)
