I was US Army, 1973-1976 2nd AD "Hell on Wheels" My older brother Jim was with the 82nd AB Div. He severd in Nam in late 71 till 72 (Americal) until a command detonated RPG took both his legs in Mar 72 during an ambush. Wounded and under fire he was awarded both the Bronze and Silver Star with Valor while supporting fire so the rest of his platoon could take cover. The MASH hospital in Da Nang patched him up the best they could and then he was sent to Fitsimmons for rehab. Jim died exactly 13 years ago today. He was 46. His war wounds caused his early death yet his name will never be seen on any wall.
