I visited you and Keith's graves yesterday to put down yet another flag to honor both of you. Your Delta buddies maintain their vigil and making sure you and all the Delta team that were lost, will NOT be forgotten. Their website has photos of all those that were
lost during their tour in Vietnam. Rest in peace my friend, We ALL miss you.

Gary,
I visited your grave again today. You would have just turned 60 last week. And in a few days it will be 40 years since you were taken from us. It's still hard to believe it's been 40 years now. SOOOOO many people are NOW realizing the sacrifices that you and so many others have made, to keep this country free. FREEDOM ISN'T FREE!!!!!!! Your Delta brothers haven't forgotten you Gary... THEY REMEMBER EVERY YEAR.

Gary,
I visited your grave this afternoon. I stared down at your marker and I see the date
18 September 1968 and it still seems like yesterday. We are having our class reunion
next month and I'm making sure that you and Keith are remembered for your sacrifice.

Gary,
It's been 38 yrs today Gary since you were taken from us. We will not ever forget the
sacrifice you made that September day. I've gotten several
phone calls from your Delta brothers telling me of your valiant attempt to save
Sgt. Freeman.

      This flag left with all respect for this fallen hero.
He will not be forgotten.
This flag left with deepest sympathy for Gaylon, Gary's other friends and family
- I understand, appreciate, and am sorry for your loss.
Respectfully, and with all sincerity, Lisa Robbins
"Never Forget Them"
We remember the sacrifice of the best men our country had; those who,
but for an accident of timing, should have been with us today. We
remember the sacrifice of each who came home in a box. We remember the
sacrifice of each who was lost and never recovered. We remember the
sacrifice of each who was brought back still alive, but who never
really made it home. - Lisa Robbins

Gary,
      It doesn't seem like it's been 35 years since
you were taken from us. My mind still races wondering "why" did you go?
You didn't have to go. You were an only son! I guess I DO know in my heart
"why", it's just so hard to accept, even after 35 years! You always put the
welfare of others first. You died that September day doing just that. I miss
you my friend. I really miss you.   Gaylon
