Cliff, I felt that I have known you for years!! Through Don D's thoughts and memories of your times together in Nam. You have not been forgotten nor should you be! That's why I'm putting this Memorial Page up. It's been a long-time overdue!!!! Until the day when we shall meet - take care, my friend, and rest in peace!!!

Cliff was my bunky in Boot Camp - Platoon 359, Parris Island, June thru Sept 64. We went on to ITR at Camp Geiger together and I lost touch with him after that. The next time I saw Cliff's name was in the Stars and Stripes casualty section. I met Cliff's parents on graduation day at PI but haven't been in touch since then. Cliff was a great guy, a good friend, and a superb Marine. Godspeed Cliff, you'll always be remembered.
