LT, Just a note to let you know that you are not forgotten, and your sacrifice is not forgotten either. You were only with us a short time before you were wounded and later died. We remember your personal pistols, and the nickname we gave you as "Click-Click". That was becuse when you tried to fire your revolver one day it was not loaded, and the only sound heard was "click click".
From a fellow trooper,
