Good afternoon,
 
My family and I were recently visiting Washington DC and had the pleasure of meeting Cpl. Edward Richardson from your outfit in Vietnam. The pain in his eyes and face were evident as he looked at and tried to take a picture of  2ndLt. Michael Thomas's name. I took two pictures for him and we spoke about the heroic actions of Michael Thomas the day he lost his life in Vietnam. Prior to meeting and speaking with Ed, I, a NAVY veteran (without combat experience), had a deep respect for Vietnam veterans. Walking away from the Vietnam memorial that day with tears in my eyes, I felt even deeper respect and appreciation for what every one of you faced and endured for our country- and my daughter now can say she understands and appreciates each of you as much as I do.
 
Thanks to each and every one of you who suffered so much so others wouldn't have to. I proudly fly my flag memorial day in honor of your outfit.
 
I am providing the pictures in hope that you can post them on your website - both on Michael Thomas's page as well as Edward's if possible.
 
Thank you.
Mike Futty
