John, I never knew you, but every day I say a prayer when I drive or walk by your memorial on Hamilton Street. The first time I read your memorial and saw that you had been in Viet Nam less than three weeks before you were killed, I actually cried right there. I am so, so sorry that your life had to end so young. I cannot imagine what your family went through. Please know that there are those of us who still think of you guys after all this time. Even the guys we never knew. God Bless you and keep you. You are R E M E M B E R E D John Edward Shiraka also is remembered by his comrades-in-arms of Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines
