Gangler leaving a wreath for their 4th/47th fallen comrades. A tribute poster for Phil
Ferro, Sgt. George Smith, Harold King, & Butch Eakins was left along with Phil Ferro's
 combat boots, which were saved by Bill Reynolds since Phil's death on July 11, 1967.
 

Stan Cockerell, Bill Reynolds and Rollie Gangler finding the names of their fallen comrades.  This was our first visit to the Wall and it was very emotional.....

Quite a scene on Veteran's Day!  A perfect day for us 4 - Jack, Bill, Stan, and Rollie to meet after 33 years and to honor our friends.

Bill Reynolds makes an etching of Marion "Butch" Eakin's inscription while Stan Cockerell looks on. Our friend Butch was lost in battle on July 11, 1967. On this day, we collected 13 etchings, leaving many more for another trip.

What a fitting display for the Viet Nam War Memorial and it is so remindful of how young we were.....

special thanks goes to Linda for arranging our Wreath

connections & she certainly knows her way around DC!
