I'll be heading down to The Wall this weekend. |
|
There's a name on that wall. It's the name of one of the bravest men I ever knew. He ate an AK round during Lam Son 719. He was gay. I was in the adjacent fighting hole at the time.
I just need to make sure that he knows.

And thank you and your friend for your service.
While you're there say hi to my cousin Edward Lionetta. I don't remember the panel, but he's on there.

Gay or straight, he's far tougher and braver than I could ever be.
