Even after fifty years I still think of the 54 guys that died on this day on April 1st in a few hours. 7 of them were assigned to me. I was in the 1st of the 77th Arty. In a clearing on the Cambodian border about 150 of us were attacked by 400 regular NVA Communist troops. One guy Peter lemon was awarded the Medal of Honor. Him and the rest of my brothers who didn't come home are the real Hero's. That is what Memorial Day is all about. Those guys were all about 20 years old. I saw their names when I went to the Wall and cried.
