For Private First Class Beddoe and all those who knew him and loved him, I just want to say thank you for your dedication and sacrifice! Please know that you have not been forgotten and always will hold a special place in my heart! It would have been nice to have known you as a person, and I greatly appreciate your service! I just wish you did not have to pay so high a price! You forever will be a hero in my eyes!
I served in the Marine Corps 1981 to 1985. We share the same last name and are undoubdetly blood-related. I once received an e-mail from another Marine asking if I was related to Paul Melvin Beddoe who died in Vietnam. He was a friend of yours and he told me about the circumstances surrounding the incident in which you lost your life. You are not forgotten.
We never met. We are nearly a generation apart. We are MARINES. We share the same Birthdate. I felt you must not exist here without some comment or tribute. So I remember you today and ask God to bless you. Semper Fidelis,
