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...............
