I recall a few of those heroes from my high school years...Fall 1966 to Spring 1969. Brave souls lost in another one of America’s lost, worthless wars. The anti-war crowd had it right.
And, we’ve learned nothing.

“I always utter aloud a few words to thank him for his generosity...“
St Raymond cemetery in The Bronx seems to have more than their share of guys like this buried there. It’s almost shocking how many. Last time I was there a few weeks ago I walked down, randomly, row 9 in St Anthony section and it was one stone after another, late sixties. Humbling shocking experience. I think there was an MOH in there somewhere. Might have been that row. I’ve seen six or seven over the years.
