I don't know what happened to my entry but. ..I also belong to centennial post 2481 and what steve and I had in common, not by which branch of service but to know and understand the core of what he felt during his battle with cancer, Steve made it 6 more years, I'm only on 3.5 but the education one receives doing battle of a different kind changes one's perspectives.

I first met Steve on the VA shuttle enroute to San Francisco VA Medical Hospital. I had the pleasure of his company several times after that. We shared experiences we both had in Vietnam. I am so sorry to hear of his demise. I am a prostate cancer survivor. I know that he is now at peace, his battles are now over. Rest in Peace Comrade. Welcome home.
