Roscoe, just to let ya know, you are not forgotten. I remember our bus ride to Fort Knox. After Basic I stayed at Knox, and I think you went to Fort Polk. I did not know you were killed in action until I saw it on the Wall. Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

I just wanted to say even though I never knew you
I will never forget you.
You will always be a hero of mine.
I am sorry you lost your life.
May God Bless you Always.
