20 Sep 2001 You made the ultimate sacrifice and it did not go unnoticed. I thank you and salute you. From one who remembers, Leilah Ash Ward Hollywood, Florida ashtwin2001@yahoo.com

 

10 Aug 2004 I just wanted to let people know that I think that for the ones who thought of making this Wall, "THANK YOU" IS NOT ENOUGH! I like others have a way to still be connected to them if only in a Wall. It means so much. To me, like to others, it still seems like it was yesterday that all this happened, and will never be forgotten. My brother will never be forgotten. From his sister, Bev Craig bevcraig@hotmail.com

 

A Note from The Virtual Wall "We lost 1LT Smith and SP4 Sammy Roderiguez on that day. SP4 Bill Barritt was taken to a hospital where he died a few days later. "The same day 08 August 1970 we lost SP4 Climer. He was new in country and was assigned I believe to the maintenance platoon. We had a rocket attack and one landed where he was working on a ship and he was hit by a large piece of shrapnel and died from those wounds. I was on guard duty that night and we were all trying to get over what happened earlier that day when this happened. It was a very sad time in Lai Khe that day . . ." The Virtual Wall thanks Frank Byrd of the 173rd AHC for these details.
