Those responsible for the historic marker memorializing the guys from Holley who gave their lives fighting for us in Vietnam have every right to be proud of having gotten the job done.

Had only one American died there it would have been one too many.

I can tell you unequivocally that George Fischer was as fine a human being as I have ever known. I will not elaborate on his exemplary life. The way it ended, however, saddened this good friend as few other things have.

George’s life was cut short by a war which brought an end to the lives of nearly 60,000 Americans.

Thanks so much to the people who succeeded in getting these people this recognition.

Sincerely yours,

Gary Kent
