Here’s to all the warriors who died as the result of their service, including Haley and Gilbertson (in my step-dad’s unit in Vietnam). They were not mentioned in Requiem.

Here is also to my great great grand father John Steuart who died from his Civil War wounds.

I am reading A Bright Shining Lie and learning a lot about the Vietnam War, John Paul Vann, and those that died in it.
