Today brought some tears of sadness/happiness for me.
Four Vietnam buddies finally came home .... http://www.ezboard.com/images/posticons/pi_cry.gif
Gone, but never forgotten. Three Marines and one Navy corpsman
on a reconnaissance mission deep in the jungles of Vietnam have
finally come home. This homecoming puts a close on the chapter
of four lives cut short the night of May 10, 1967.
The families of 2nd Lt. Heinz Ahlmeyer Jr., Sgt. James N. Tycz,
Petty Officer 3rd Class Malcolm T. Miller (Navy Corpman) and
Lance Cpl. Samuel A. Sharp Jr. can finally put an end to the long
wait.

Arlington National Cemetery, the final resting place for America's
honored heroes, was the backdrop to the history-making event
that saw hundreds of friends, service members and families pay
tribute to the men of Alpha Company, 3rd Reconnaissance Bn.,
who gave the ultimate sacrifice 38 years ago.
I have had a page about them on my Military Website for a long
time, because "A Man Is Not Dead Until He Is Forgotten".
These guys were good friends, but due to circumstances beyond
our control, their bodies could not be recovered.
Sometime in the near future, it won't be easy to do, but I will make
the journey to Arlington Cemetery to welcome them home.
