A Hero Passes On

@ 11:39 AM (54 months, 28 days ago)
I had just finished reading the Colonel's "About Face" when I emailed him to tell him how much I enjoyed the book. To my great surprise he emailed me back to say that he was glad I enjoyed it. I also expressed my gratitude for his service to this country and for his work on behalf of those in uniform. Unfortunately he passed  away earlier this month from a form of cancer that is associated with exposure to defoliants in Vietnam.
