34. He's my "brother from nother mother"

That's very considerate to have him laid there. We made the same choice with my father who served also in the 101st ABN. Arlington was too far away for family members to visit so we chose one that was 2 hours away.

It doesn't surprise me that he was upset. Duty weighs heavy on men like your brother. It was apparent by his work with veterans, so I'm not surprised he'd be that way when he was on active duty. He was just taking care of his troops. That's what made him an outstanding leader and person.

If any of his Vietnam memorabilia that isn't divided up is left. I'd like to make a suggestion. Anything like pictures, awards, from the time he was in the 501st. Please send it to the 101st ABN Don Pratt Museum at Ft Campbell. They had a very large section on the A Shau Valley. I'd be glad to pay for it.

When the headstone comes is placed. Could you get a picture then? If it isn't any problem.
