He left for Vietnam in January and died in August 1966.
Leonard never met our son, as I was 7 months pregnant with him when Leonard was killed.
I was 19 years old and Leonard was 22 at the time of his death.
Leonard's son Leonard Jr. and grandson Ryan visit Leonard Sr's gravesite at Westwood Military Cemetery in Southern California.

To Leonard's wife and son ... I was with Leonard the night he died. We had a conversation about life after Vietnam. His hopes and his wishes for the future, he couldn't wait to return home to be with you Pat [you were the love of his life] and the son that he never knew. I have often thought of you two, hoping and praying that all is well with you. If ever I can help you please contact me, thanks Winston.
