Just a young cowboy whose life had just began,
when one day a letter came that would lead him to Viet-Nam.

He didn't shrink, he didn't run, for those people he had scorn,
that's why I believe he volunteered for the Airborne.

To be one of the best for this nation and freedoms to defend,
that was his way - he was someone on whom you could depend.

He fought his fight - he lived what he believed - he gave his all,
and now we only have some old photos and his name on a Wall.

Of this nation I am not so proud - it turned its back on these men,
through protest and dissent it lost its will to win.

From his brother.

David,

It has been 41 years since Fort Campbell and you will always be in my memories. You were a pleasure to know and to go through the war with. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
