I had forgotten Wayne's last name, so I could never find him on the "Wall". It was only after looking for another buddy did I find it. Both of these friends were killed on the same night. I lost two of my bros that night. He and John went away that night and I felt so alone and lost. Wayne became my friend, my brother. Damn, I miss you guys. I'm sorry I forgot your last name, Wayne, but I'll never forget it now. Rest in peace, my brother. You fought one hell of a fight and gave all. We were teenage friends and lived our lives our way, the Marine way. Semper Fi, bro, I will never forget you ... Jess
