28 Dec 2006 My name is Joe Rios and I was a member of this Bravo Company 4/23rd group on June 6, 1969. The events of June 6 were forever engraved in my mind. Never has a day passed that I do not think about this fateful day and of these my fallen brothers. Although through the years the pain has eased, the memories continue and I will never forget the bravery they showed. I thank them all, for if not for their ultimate sacrifice, I know I would not be here today. From a member of Bravo Co, 4/23rd 1969-1970, Joe E.
