REMEMBERED

by his comrades in the

5th Infantry - the Bobcats
02 Oct 2005

We weren't supposed to be in Cambodia. But then this was a crazy war we participated in. I wish I could have met you in our hometown of Harlingen, Texas. I did two tours in Nam but never ventured into Cambodia. Descansa en paz, carnal.

From another Harlingen, Texas, veteran.
