29 May 2001 "When you go home, tell them of us and say, We gave our tomorrow, for your today" A memorial from his Brothers, David Lee Barbee, USN Ret and Donald Ray Barbee, USAF Ret dbarbee757@aol.com

27 July 2001 Memories I remember the good times, I remember the bad. Good makes me happy and the bad make me sad. In 1965 America called on us again To defend her and Honor Her and our Kin. So off to Vietnam and war we went in 1966, Humping the boonies and Flying in Huey Slicks. We fought for our Country, our Honor and died In jungles, rice paddies and mountain side. We fought and died bravely not thinking of it twice, Support from our familes and America would have been nice. Ridiculed and sworn at spit upon and more - If we had not done it, who would have fought the war? Trying to save a foreign nation in time of strife, We were willing to fight and give our life. A nation ungrateful for almost 30 years To this infantryman's soul it brings a tear. Never shirked our duty, held our heads high with pride, Holding our brothers and watching them die. Looking at all the names on this Wall of Stone Waiting for America to say "Thank you and welcome home!"
