He was one of the men, who volunteered to wait for the last helicopter off the hill, along with Platoon Leader Lt. James Keane, PFC Edwin Gehringer, our medic and myself. More than 2,000 NVA soldiers were within 100 yards of our hilltop and determined to wipe us off the face of the earth. I have such admiration for those brave souls, who left with me on that last bird. I have even more admiration for those brave helicopter crews, who put their own lives on the line to come into that hail of bullets and rescue us. Love to hear from you Larry.<br />Homer R.

You are not a coward, but a brave man. You...Larry,<br />You are not a coward, but a brave man. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You had a mission, you've completed that mission.<br />I posted a story on Memoirs (CJ's site) a year or so ago about my mission of going to the Wall in DC and the experience I felt after touching a friends name.<br />We heal in our own way. Some wounds heal immediately, others take time, but we do heal. Memories linger, pain can be overcome, but this is what makes us (American Veterans and their Families) who we are. Welcome home Larry, Welcome home everyone.<br />Thank you CJ for the "Porthole" to let us get together, chat, post, remember and heal.<br />Craig Latham<br />Combat Writer and Photographer<br />101st Airborne Div.
