24 May 2001 My brother was known as Pat, or "Smokey". We were so close we were almost twins. His best friend was my best friend's boyfriend in high school. We did everything together. I am now 50 years old and still cannot get over his not being around. He died a hero. He received the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, the Purple Heart, etc. He died firing at the enemy while his troops took cover. What a man, what a hero. He will always be loved and missed. Colleen Marshall PO Box 6635, Kennewick, Washington 99336 E-Mail Address not available

 

31 May 2004 On this Memorial Day 2004 I wish to honor this hero. I, too, grew up and still live in Washington State and was born the on very same day, May 2, 1949. I never knew Pat but our shared birthdate and state somehow links us together. May God Bless Pat and his family, especially his sister Colleen -- my thoughts and prayers are with you.
