I joined the service at the age of 16 yrs. of age. Several friends I ran around with prior service joined the service and were killed while I was in the service in Vietnam ( 1963 / 1967 ). I know 7 of them I ran with were killed and heard of others that I went to school with but I never been able to go back home again to live because of knowing that most all the kids I knew were dead. I am now ready to except my friends' death and wish I could find a listing of names and who all came from Des Moines, Iowa because I have had a mental block of names not wanting to know who all died that I have knowen. Thanks for the space here...Respectfully, Dale I hope this site will place the names with the state or towns that the follow military service personal came from.

A young man next to me at Tan Son Nhut was killed while I was stationed there in 65. My mothers death this past week brings back my thoughts on deaths in Vietnam. To all the obituarys I read today I wish I could e-mail each one of you and seed my condolences. I wish everyone who lost someone would post it on line. Here thirty years later this seems the best thearpy. My heart goes out to all the fathers and sons that remember there sons from so long ago. I told my mother as she was about to pass we will all see you on the other side. I must beleive this or life would be sad. I left Vietnam 1965 and there is not a day I do not remember where I went and how I returned. John Mayfiled USAF (ret) I read all the obituarys today.
