Neighbor / Someone I looked up to
I was only 9 yrs old when David went Vietnam. I always looked up to David. My older brother was in country when David got killed. Shook up the whole neighborhood…. Still think about him a lot over 40 years later. For a 9 year old he was the Coolest guy I knew….

Both being in country 2 months before being wounded.
