Terry, I think about you all the time.

You were one of my best friends in Vietnam and I will never forget how you used to talk about Ohio and what you would do when you got back.

I was the first to your side when you were hit and held you you like a baby even though I knew you were probably killed instantly.

I carried your body to the helicopter and felt bad about having to put you on a pile of other dead Marines.

I will always remember your quirky ways and that funny little mouth of yours.

Our Company went up that hill the next day and I was hit several times, but I was lucky and came home.

Semper Fi, my friend.
