We served together

I was Leonard's Platoon Sgt. in Vietnam and was with him the night he gave his all for his country. He was an outstanding Marine and a very fine young man. His death was not in vain. He died defending his country and our freedom. He will be sorely missed by his family and his fellow Marines. Semper Fi, ~Frank E. Clark
