Roger, I often think of you, our days in Verdun and your sacrifice. Just wanted you to know that you are still remembered.

Thinking of You
Roger, this past Veterans Day caused memories to return and getting the news of your death. We were scheduled to take R&R during the period you were killed, however, the start of the TET Offensive up North caused the Marine Corps to cancel my R&R. You chose to cancel yours also and remain in country to fight. Your Mother, "Bless her Heart" went to her grave blaming me for your death and often, I think "what if". Anyway, you are in my heart and will remain a hero to me. Semper Fi !!!!

The day I seen you go down memories will always last. There is not a day goes by unless I think of you my friend. I wrote to Woody Gardner to let him know we had lost you WO Mark Schmidt, WO Howard Anderson, and Barsch. I also remember cutting your belts off your seats and carrying you out. Rest in peace my friend.

You're still in my thoughts after all these years. I'm so sorry you didn't get to know my children as they were growing up. You would be proud of them. You and so many others have given the ultimate sacrifice for your country.
