I knew your son. I attended James Madison High School in San Diego, California where it was my good fortune to serve with your son Kurt in US Army Junior ROTC 1967-69. I graduated as Cadet Colonel, commanding all 6 ROTC schools in the city, and Kurt graduated as Cadet Sergeant Major, the highest ranking Cadet NCO in the city. We were friends outside of school and I always admired Kurt's sense of humor and adventure. There wasn't much he wasn't willing to try. Kurt never spoke much of you to us, but we all knew of you and respected your sacrifice, and admired your son greatly. We didn't know then yours would be the first name listed on the wall. I later served during the evacuation phase of the war as a Marine Officer 1973-75. Know this - you have a great son, and you are missed. I hope we will meet one day on the 'other side'. Semper Fi.
