If you are able ,save for them a place, inside of you. And save one backward glance,
when you are leaving, for the places, they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say,
you loved them. Though you may or may not have always. Take what they have
left,and what they have taught you, with their dying, and keep it with your own. And
in time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane. Take one moment to

ago today, didn't look to be very promising for us. We were at 600 ft.AGL and had
just lost our tail, litterally. To be honest Dan, I thought we were goners for sure. All
over but the shoutin'. I don't know to this day how we managed to survive, but, all
three of us made it. A little worse for wear, but, still alive. I want to tell you again,
what a fine job you did getting us on the ground. The 'bird' was never the same
again,but, we damn sure made it. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Garth

I apologize for the delay in responding. I served from june 1968 to june 1969. My
callsign was Cavalier 28. I flew Cobras nearly the whole tour. People that were
there the same time include Terry Washburn from Mora, Minn., Bill Wagner, who
flew the CO (6) in a C model, Ron Bodholt, and Lance. Another pilot was Named
Davenport. He flew Cobras for a short time before being assigned to Slicks. He
was shot down after picking up a LRP team. They all were KIA. I will go for now.
Won't be in DC. Maybe another time, another place.
