I don't know if this man knew it, he probably did not, but he had two children, twins, born a month before his death.
I am one of these two, and I often wonder how much better my life would have been if he was alive.

A loyal friend, from high school and beyond. I am so glad we had time together in Hawaii before your last voyage. Thanks for your friendship and rest in the peace you never had in life.

Don, your name is now part of Milwaukie High School. As a member of the Gold Star Memorial, dedicated on Memorial Day 2009. Rest with the other 11 from Milwaukie that gave their all in Vietnam.
