Family is everything! Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

Graduated from high school 2 months before and was working at a summer job but kept track the whole time. It was a great time.

I was at Vandergriff Combat Base,Quang Tri Province. Heard about it but had other things to occupy my mind.
Some people go to church and think about fishing. Some go fishing and think about God.

I was on my second tour in Vietnam and that news kind of seemed not all that important at the time! To be fair, I was a short timer with only a couple of months left and my mind was on getting back to the world alive, and in one piece!
Just one more cast!

Summer between 7th and 8th grade.
