Memorial Day Remembering Those Who Died
My brother posted this today on Facebook. He was a Screaming Eagle in the 101'st Airborne Division. Jumped out of helicopters into the jungles of Vietnam. Two of those who died were my neighbors. Two others were brothers of my two best friends. Population today of our town is 2,200. It was less then.
I grew up in Munith, Michigan, a very small town which lost all of the young men listed below to the war in Vietnam. We all went off together and most did not return. I know only of 4 others including myself that went from our little town and two of them were wounded. Needless to say, the war had a major impact on our town. Young lives lost for no reason. I wonder at times if politicians realize the impact of their decisions and the cost.
