READ HIS MEDAL OF HONOR CITATION

My brother, First Lieutenant Robert L. Poxon, was killed in Vietnam on June 2, 1969.

He is a Medal of Honor recipient.

If you knew my brother Bob, or served with him I would
really like to hear from you. His nickname was Blue.

Even though it's been 30 years now, I still miss Bobby very much. And I wish I had been older before he went to Vietnam so that I would have more memories of him to cherish.

God bless,
