Same Last Name
Today was my first day to find this website and when I scanned through the people that died today, your name stood out. My brother was also in Vietnam, however, he was a Bates that came home. I am sorry for your family that you were not able to do the same. Thank you for your sacrifice to keep our country free. You will not be forgotton.
