I never went to VietNam, but I have vivid memories of September 15, 1968. I was in the Army and had just completed AIF at Ft. Polk, La. Sunday morning I was in my barracks when the CQ runner came and knocked on my door. He broke the news to me of my brother PFC James D. Wardlow, USMC, being killed in VietNam on Friday the 13th of Sept. I always thought and always will think that no matter how bitter so many were of the VietNam war that my brother died a noble death and I am proud of him because he was doing what he had always wanted to do and that was be a Marine.
