Michael, I know you only by your parents, great people. But I also know you as one of hundreds of casualties I took care of in RVN. Rest in peace. Like mine, your service was aimed at helping our wounded and you made the ultimate sacrifice in caring for your fellow troopers. Know that you are remembered. There has been a Memorial Brick placed in your honor at our Vietnam Veterans Chapter 649 Memorial Helicopter Park where I now live.
