The title may throw some who know me off, because I only had one sister. During our travels during the last month Linda and I have visited three of my brothers. These men became my brothers in Viet Nam. All served with the 5th Infantry Division. When you serve in a war, and experience things that you can only tell each other about it creates a bond stronger than birth. Each of these men, as well as others that I have not seen in almost 40 years have saved my life several times over. Each has a place in my heart that no one else can fill. I was able to see James and his wife Rosie, and Alan and his wife Bernie in Ohio at James' home. Linda and I were able to to spend only a few hours with them and their families, but I would not have missed it for the world. We then traveled to New Mexico to visit Alex and his wife Roci. The time spent with these men helps give me deal with past memories that were not so nice, and allow some peace in my life. Though each will tell you they were not heros, each are to me. I have attached some photos of time with them.
