Very shocked and sadden to learn of the passing of fellow LRRP, John Collins. Got to visit with him some years back when I was in Indianapolis. Great American.

John,
I was thinking about you and Scottie today. I've really missed talking to you at our D Troop 3/4 Cav. 25th Inf. Div. reunions. Thank you John, for your service to our country. You will truly be missed but not forgotten.
SP/4 Herbert D. Beasley
Infantryman and Doorgunner
