Friend
C.L. was a friend, to me when I arrived, in viet. He was older, than me and took me, under his wing and sort of taught me, the ropes. I think of him, often. We were together on the same ‘track,’ when he was killed. I will always, think of him and remember, what a good guy, he was. Mike Pennington, 222 Mech. Infantry, 25th Infantry Division.
