Not A Day Goes By
Michael, not a day goes by, my brother, that I don't
think about you. I clearly remember that fateful
morning when I was called to go identify you at
Quang‐Tri Triage. Just hours before, we had
shared some C‐rats at my tent when you came by
in your tank to say goodbye because your tour
would be over the following week. I could not
convince you to stay in Quang‐Tri and for years I
blamed myself for your death. You went back for
one more day to be with your beloved troops in
Con Thien and you all were hit by sappers and
RPGs a few short hours later. I will cherish that
last moment with you till the day I am called by
our Saviour. You will always live in my soul,
Michael. God bless your family.
