07 Jul 1999 John was my best friend through grade and high school. He left school to enroll in the Marines, and was killed while I was still a sophomore in college. I served as a pall bearer at his funeral and interment at Mount Vernon. Now age 50, I still think of John on a daily basis. Thank you for your support to vets, alive and deceased, and their families and friends. Steve Hess Frederick, MD skhess@erols.com
