06 Jan 2004 The last time I saw him, he was like me, young and alive, and we talked of our future, what we would do when we got home, but he gave it all and I have missed him over the years, the smile, the sincere friendship and a true Marine Buddy. Peace, my friend. Semper Fi Hansen From a Marine buddy, Larry Hansen hansenl@hughes.net

18 March 2005 Ignacio Montero was my oldest brother. Ignacio volunteered for the Marine Corps after high school. I was only 8 years old when he was killed in Vietnam. After his death my dad avoided talking of him and evaded answering questions about him. For years I've been trying to find somebody who served with him - but until now without success. From his younger brother, Angel Montero angel7186@wi.rr.com
