"To live in the hearts we leave behind,
Placed by his niece, |
Don was my best friend. We spent 3 years in the Marine Corps together, we were together till the day he was injured. I miss my friend, I think about him all the time and always wondered what we would be doing if he were here today. I was happy when I accidentally came across this site. I didn't know his family but he talked about them often. I wrote his Mother and Father after he passed but that was my last contact. So now I have a place to go to talk to my best friend.

Don, 40 years has passed since the day the AMTRAC hit the mine and I think of you very often. It is an honor to visit your memorial. You served your Country and the Marine Corps with all you had ... you gave your Life for it. Rest in peace, Bro.
