Stickman: Never Forget Veterans
RE: LaSarte finally gets hero's welcome/Ralph Bartholdt, St. Maries Gazette-Record
Stickman: I tell the story sometimes of a young man who on his last day in
country, was killed in an ambush. One of the tears of my life, even to
this day. I cry everytime I think of him. His name was Billy, and he
was 19. And another of a young man who was wounded calling in an air
strike on his own position. He wished he died that day, but didn't. He
is still here, and I take the time each week to go to his house and
give him a bath, as he is embarrassed to let anyone else do it. Did we
serve, damn right! Never forget the ones that came before you to keep
you free.
Question: Do you know someone who was killed or injured in war? Who?
