(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I never attended your school, but knew its namesake. Mike and I became close friends in our army medical training at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, and remained that way until his death. We spend several days sightseeing in San Francisco before heading to Vietnam together. Arrived there on December 5, 1969 at Bien Hoa Airfield and stayed at Long Bien reception depot until we were assigned to our separate units. Mike served as a combat medic in the 4th Infantry Division, I believe, while I went north to serve in a like capacity with the 101st Aitborne Division. I was subsequently wounded and returned to a new duty station in Savannah, GA, arriving there in June 1970. Shortly afterward I subsequently learned of Mike's death in July. What a terrific guy, and such a terrible loss. It's heartwarming to know his memory survives with such a fitting tribute.
