I feel bad for a friend of mine who was also from my little town in Portugal who died over there.

I think about him very often, and I have been to The Wall in DC twice and I was able to find his name there.

That is why I apreciate life. It is very precious.

I was a baby at the time of the vietnam war. When I got older the thing that bothered me was the soliders that came back from war did not get the respect this deserved. For you, your friend that died, and all the only soldiers that fought in the Vietnam War. I thank you for your service and you are appreicated and respected.
