Me, Vic and Glen Farmer were at my Dad's farm in Ofallon right before Vic and Glen went in the Corps. If memory serves Glen was a reservist, after boot camp and ITR Glen came back to St. Louis and Vic went to Nam. He was killed just before I went over there and I remember on my way I kept thinking, jeez, if they can get a guy like Vic, I got no f***ing chance! Thanks for your comment Robert, it means a lot.

I met him in high school in a poker game. He is the one who taught me to shoot a beer. Every Memorial Day I gather friends and strangers and insist that they do a shot and shoot a beer. I remember. I will never forget. I stood next to victor cartier when we took the oath to become marines. I met him in high school in a poker game. He is the one who taught me to shoot a beer.

It's good to know he's not forgotten. He was a great guy and a damn good marine. For the last 35 years on Memorial Day weekend, family and friends have met at his grave site to share a few beers and stories. I went to the Wall for the first time this May and though he's been dead for almost 40 years, the tragedy of his death came fresh seeing his engraved name amongst so many others. I've had the opportunity to connect with quite a few of his marine buddies and realize what impact he had in his short life. Thank you again for his mention.
