my brother phillip forever
I was the one who tried to save you that day as you gave your life trying to save your best friend in our
unit.All of these years went by and I still see you that day and I still try to save you.I sang at your memorial we held for you. We fought for you to be awarded the soldiers cross and I dont know how that turned out. I cannot understand what else you could have done to deserve the highest award and why we had to beg them to consider.Its ok though God saw everything and I know he has watched over you and your family. see you later my friend and brother

You were my Camden County, NJ neighbor, but we never met. You died on my 17th birthday. I was applying for my driver's permit in Berlin, NJ that day. You were in South Vietnam giving your life in the service your country. You weren't much older than I and lived only a few miles down the road. Yet our lives were worlds apart. It's possible that you had no choice but to enlist, or maybe you were drafted. I was able to go on to college. Although deferrments were eliminated a year before, my lottery number was very high at 292. Two of my good friends had #7. However, they and, as I recall, no one born in 1953 was drafted. Perhaps your sacrifice in 1970 is the reason we now are enjoying life, family & friends in 2003. THANK YOU!
