“I'll always have the memories of guys I lost in Vietnam. And I've lost friends since the war, but I'll always have the memories. The riches are great, but riches aren't everything, because when you go you can only take your memories and your word and your honor to the grave with you.” WarGuyLostMemoriesHonorRichesGravesVietnamOur MemoriesLost FriendYour Honor Author:Michael E.

“It wasn't the Medal of Honor that changed my life. It was being in Vietnam itself. The close situations changed my whole way of thinking about my life. It showed me that things can disappear like the snap of your fingers. As a young guy you thought you were invincible and nothing could ever hurt you, and stuff like that, and living life to the fullest.” ThinkingWayWholeYoungGuyStuffHurtSituationChangedHonorFingersDisappearLive LifeVietnamMedalWay Of ThinkingSnapsInvincibleChanged My LifeLive Life To The FullestYoung GuysMedal Of Honor Author:Michael E.
