02 July 2004 REMEMBERED by Jason S. Plough E-mail address is not available.

11 Mar 2007 My brother who fought in Viet Nam was this man's close friend. I know about Tucker because I have been hearing about him since my brother was able to talk about the war. I begin to hear about Tucker way back in the '70s of what a great man he was, what a brave soldier. My brother saw this soldier die and it has always affected his life. As I said on my blog about Viet Nam and how Tucker died there, it touched a family in Colorado ... my family. My brother said they were together aside awhile then went out and suddenly Tucker was dead right before his eyes. This man stands out to me because I have heard of his bravery and death for many years. My brother told me exactly what happened, so of course I remember Tucker, and also get tears when I heard of his good charactar. I never knew him, of course, but I know what a fine man he was and what a brave soldier. I pray God's richest blessings on Tucker's family and I thank them for raising such a fine upstanding brave young man. The sister of a Vietnam veteran, and mother of deployed 82nd Airborne soldier now in Iraq. B. D. O. E-mail address is not available.
