Gerald you are often remembered and thought of fondly. Your childhood friend from Wisconsin Dells, WI. Dick Foss now living in La Crosse, WI. When I found your name on the Wall several years ago it was the most moving experience of my life. I went back to Viet Nam in 1993 as part of a medical team. It is a beautiful place! I wish you could have been with me. God Bless You!
