Gary R. Guest was in my squad. I was his squad leader. He was my first fire team leader and good friend. We were in our fighting hole waiting for the incoming to stop. The last round from the 82-mm recoilless rifle made a direct hit on our hole, Gary was killed instantly and I was severely wounded. This happened 1000 meters from Con Thien up in the hills surrounding the base close to the DMZ.

If you want to know more about Gary and his time in my squad you may email me at: cplkitchens@mac.comp

Thanks for letting me share this.

Dear Brother Gary,

I always loved you in life and will never forget you in death. I think of you daily and in my prayers you are always with me. Now that I have a son of 27 years I can't conceive of his death.

Love You in Life as well in Death

Luv, Sister Debbie
