David,

Thank you for entering our lives as young men in Vietnam. A great friend, super soldier and a lifetime friend.
I am sorry we were not there for you during the funeral. We were ready to come with our Cu Chi black hats but we found out too late. We were not notified.
I wanted you to know we were with you in spirit on this date.
We will miss you very much and our long discussions of our day in the service and of course, Alabama! You are in a much better place with the love of your life, Wilma.
We send our love, Suzi, Clancy, Stu, Jim, Don, Big Joe, Butch, Cheryl Glaub and

John. RIP
