Gordon was a young man. Gordon was our newspaper boy. Your name is etched on a Vietnam War Memorial in Drakes Branch, Virginia. Gone but not forgotten. Your name along with the other men from Charlotte County who were killed in Vietnam are on this memorial too. That was one of the most important things I was able to do while I was on the town council.
