Letter Number 5

Walt Maxam

Hope,

You came into my life nearly a year ago with the belated birthday wish. Little did I know this would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I cannot really put into words what it means to have someone as caring as you in my life and the lives of the other Nam vets out there.

Although we only recently met, I can't help but think upon reflection, that you were with me in Vietnam. You transcend a "spirit and feeling" for vets that can only come from a very special person.  Have often wondered why I was ever in Vietnam. The answer has become very clear..........

..........it was for you!

You represent all that was worth the time we spent over there. I have to believe that your spirit was with us then as it is now........
I will always have a special place in my heart for you.........
and will tell all that I can about the wonderful "Sweet Lady" in San Jose........
the one young girl that, in hindsight and so many years ago, gave us purpose........
a reason for what we did........
a reason for the sacrifices made..........
God Bless You, Hope...............
