I served with Monty in Vietnam with the First Infantry Division fifty two years ago. He was an outstanding young man. He was just a kid, doing a mans job.
Thru his efforts we stayed in touch periodically over the years.
I will miss you my friend.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Monty's family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. May that bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.
