I've got a favor to ask of you if it's
not too much trouble. Pat has a friend named Boyd we
went to high school with. Boyd was a Ranger in Vietnam who did over 40 missions
into Laos alone to recon the Ho Chi Min Trail. They would drop him off and tell
him to be at a certain place and time or he was on his own. Sounds like he was
on his own anyway. He's one of those guys they swore to secrecy for 40 years.
Anyway, have you ever heard of "Quilts
of Valor"? There's a ladies group who honor war veterans
by making quilts and presenting them at luncheons and such. They presented one to Boyd
the other day and he almost broke down. Pat has pictures he wants
posted on Facebook and asked me to try and get it done.
I've
known Boyd since high school and he was one of those tougher than nails kinda
guys. You can tell he's about to break down in some of these pictures.
That's why Pat wants them on Facebook. He wants to honor a friend and hero who
fought for this country.
