It had been on my mind for several days which was probably the trigger that sent me to the ER. The final diagnosis was severe anxiety attack, of which I had not had in well over a year. But CAT scan also showed slightly enlarged heart and possible emphysema. So I will be supporting the medical establishment for the next few weeks. Aging isn't for sissies!!!! There is never a day that goes by that I don't think about those we lost on Koh Tang and since, and those of us survivors. Luv Y'll Brothers, Semper Fi - Edd Prothro MSgt USMC Ret.

Will be forever grateful for the friendships made since. Those hours over the island are never far away. Just glad to meet the brave men who were on the ground that day. Love you and see you all here next May.

I visit it every so often, sob a little, read a lot, feel supported in remembering... so few around me now know anything about the "last names on the wall" but I never forget those who almost made it home but didn't.
