My father and brother were in Viet Nam. My brother was on a fire base that got hit real hard during the TET offence. While I was in High School, I worked with a lady who one day told me she went to the same high school I was in. I also found out she graduated the same year as my brother. I told her my brothers name, she yelled out yes, she knew him! and he was the greatest guy she knew. Then she started looking sad, and said she was sorry for what happen to him. I asked her "what happened to him?" She said, Wasn't he killed in Viet Nam! every year, during our high school re union, we read out his name out load, and hold a moment of salience for him." The shock on her face when I told her, he was alive, happy, married and had two kids! That summer my brother stopped by to see me before I went into the Marines, I took him by the store to meet the lady. She cried her eyes out when see saw him.
