Arnold
was a squad leader with "L" 3/5. He was KIA on Operation UNION
II in Quang Tin Province. I named my oldest son, who became a Marine
in 1990, after him. After 33 years I still miss him as if he left last
week. I'd give anything to spend an hour with him. I followed his footsteps
and went to RVN in '69 with Marine helicopters. Semper Fi, Big Brother.
