Tribute
On this Memorial Day weekend, 2013, I would like to pay homage with my deepest respect to one of our fallen comrades, Capt David B. Tucker (KIA 10/67) in Vietnam. I served under Capt. Tucker in 1967 and was one of his RTO's in A Co. 2nd Bn 7th Cav until July 67 when I rotated back home after my 12 mo. tour was over. He was my C.O. and it wasn't until a yr after Capt. Tucker was killed that I was made aware of his passing. I just wanted his fellow Rangers, 1st Cav soldiers and family, if they ever see this, to know that he was a fine officer, good leader and just a great person to be around. Every time I look at some of the pics I took of him while there, it is with a tear in my eye that I think of his passing. He was well respected by all who knew him. Here it is, almost 50 yrs later and I still remember him with the highest regard. I offer a hearty salute to his memory and may he rest in peace. Mike Kovitch Marietta Ga

REFLECTIONS FROM THE MOVING WALL". I am a monument to a black period in this countries history.I am the Vietnam wall.,composed to two angled granite walls,inscribed with the names of fifty eight thousand,one hundred thirty four American men and women who died in hell (that was Vietnam) Many people come to see me. strangely they come mostly in silence-old people,young people,children,mothers,fathers,widows,and veterans.all for reasons of their own.they bring gifts,pictures,letters,flowers,poems and cigarettes.the letters speak of grief and loneliness and regret.they ask forgiveness.they are an out pouring of pain.the people softly touch names on my face.they water my grass with tears.then they leave in silence and I hope in peace.for I am more than two stone walls.I am a thank you from a nation that forgot.I am a long past due apology.I am healing for wounds too long left untended.I am a tribute paid to fallen warriors.I AM THE VIETNAM WALL. "America has forgotten the wars.will she remember her warriors"? you may be gone , BUT YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
