Touching base, my friend. On this date May 27, 1969, 38 years ago you gave all my friend. I will never forget your courage and sacrifice to our nation. May God keep you in his blessings on this Memorial Day. I will go clean up your's and Bernie's grave markers later on today, place a flag and salute you. Gary, I think of you daily. You are gone but not forgotten. I will always remember that great personality and smile.

Miss you my friend.
