SEMPER FI FROM PLATOON 1020

Thank you, Paul, you gave all you could give on that hot August night in 1968. America lost one of its heroes on Hill 950. One year earlier we were in the sand pits at the rifle range doing squat thrusts. I will never forget you. I only knew you for a little while but it seems like I knew you all my life.
