"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save a backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say that you loved them, though you may or may not have always, take what they have taught you in their dying and keep it with your own.
And in a time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heros you left behind."
Major Michael O'Donnell
KIA: 24 March 1970
