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.

Gary,
Your Delta Company buddies just held their reunion. I'm sure they are remembering the Heroic deeds that you did that September day back in 1968. I know they will never forget it. I paid you and Keith a visit today......It all seems so unreal, still..........

      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
