Andy
 

Been three years ago today our brother left to join his other brothers and family in heaven. I miss him but smile when ever I think of him and our times together. RIP brother you are not forgotten , so glad my grandson got to met you. Yankees Suck. Y'all " Stay Healthy !"

Bless You Andy:
 

Bless you Andy. I would not be where I am today if you had not taken me under your wing and shown me I had nothing to be ashamed of for applying for a VA Disability and then Retirement from my Police Department. You also convinced me that my Physical Health, and my family, came before any job.

Your advice was given freely, one Vietnam Vet to another, and one Cop to another--Without any regard to your own very serious illness. I will never forget you Andy and your kindness when I desperately needed advice and guidance. Bless you my departed Thin Blue Line and Vietnam Veteran Brother. The little man above, wearing Dark Glasses, represents me as I don't want anyone to see the water in both of my eyes as I think of you and my attempt to write just how I feel about your friendship!!

I know you are in a far better place now, Andy, then the one you left three years ago. You are now free of all pain and suffering. They say that ALL VIETNAM VETERANS are admitted to the Pearly Gates immediately since they have ALREADY SERVED THEIR TIME IN HELL. They must have been thinking of you Brother when they made up that statement. What you went through, both in Nam and after, was certainly HELL by anyone's defination.

To all the rest of my Vietnam Veteran Brothers and Sisters I again wish you a MOST SINCERE and HEART FELT:

WELCOME HOME


VIETNAM 1968

Thanks Steve. Got that picture in my office , right next to one of Frank in Vietnam. Got one of me next to them getting ready to go out on ambush during Lam Son 719. Man were we young and lucky. May God continue to watch over us all. Stay Healthy.

A unique and wonderful person who could never be forgotten. I am truly pleased and proud to have known him and cannot help but feel a little pity for those who never got to.

There is a little Andy out there. His name is Joel. He is Andy's grandson.

I see Andy in Joels eyes in every picture and he is smiling. It's pretty comforting

Thank you Andy for loving us-as we love you! Thank you for watching out for us since you have left-WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE YOUR LOVE-Lil' LT.
