Yes, Glennnn, Memorial Day and its meaning sometimes gets lost in a holiday weekend
My grad school roommate, Steve Ramsey, graduated in Dec. 1966 and was married to his girlfriend, Grace, soon after He did died in Vietnam a year later. I had one more term to go, and was broke. I did receive an invitation, but could not attend, or afford much of a wedding present (maybe $15). I hope he understood.I do visit the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, but I am upset about the wedding gift.
And I eventually went to Vietnam too.
He never know.. It would have wonderful to exchange stories with him.
