Bruce and I were in Vietnam together for almost a year. 1967, we were in the same infantry platoon. We got out of the Army about the same time in 1968. We hadn´t seen each other in over 50 years and he called me last year. I was really excited to hear from him and we met up together at a Culver´s restaurant. He was a good man and a great friend.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
