173. I knew someone who received one of the Dear America letters

Wed Oct 1, 2014, 09:35 PM

Oct 2014

He had just rotated home from Vietnam when he received the letter from a buddy in his Marine Corps unit in-country that was one of those featured in Dear America:

7 Apr 69

Dear Jim,

Hope you had a good journey home. I’m sorry I’m unable to bring you glad tidings buddy, but I think you’ll probably what to know this news. Our friend, our happy, crazy, almost always laughing pal Dave was killed during a fire fight at 0600 hrs this morning. An RPG took his head. Jim, that guy had so much going for him, a beautiful girl to marry in October, school to finish, and under 40 days to go. This war is taking too many good guys.

Perhaps I’m selfish but a few have been friends and I know you’ve felt the same. There’s nothing more to say. I thought you’d like to know.

Jerry

The letter about the death of their friend, David Ranson, also is engraved on the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
