Operation SWIFT
My
close friend in Viet Nam
I'm so proud to have served with Dick, and to remember him as a close
friend. He was my New York buddy, and one of the bravest men I've
ever met. I will never forget him.~John Costello

Proud
to have served with this brave Marine
I was a new Marine to I/3/5 on Sept. 6 during Operation SWIFT. Many
brave Marines died that night, one stands out in my mind and that
is LCpl. Crawford. He was a machine gunner who died while bravely
fighting against a fierce enemy force. His valiant actions still remain
in my mind even after the passage of 30+ years. I am proud to have
served with him.
