Robt. L.-
D. Co. 4Bn 503 Inf. 173rd Abn. Brigd.
Viet Nam--KIA Jan. 1968 during Tet Offensive-
his favorite song at that time was "Sunday Will Never Be The Same"-By Spanky & Our Gang late 67 or early 68. None of us knew that Sundays would never be the same again.

John B.
A Co. 4Bn 503 Inf. 173rd Abn. Brigd.
KIA Mar. 1968 by a sniper-
his song which reminded him of his girl back home was "On The Expressway To Your Heart"-By The Soul Survivers 68-they are 2 of my favorites now & always--
