Letter 12

Tom Hebert

Hope,

     I want to thank you for all you have done for me! I have had nothing but bad luck since I came back from Vietnam. As you know I did two tours over there from 65-66-68-69.  When I came home the people hated me for what I did. I had orders to go and did not shrink on my duties. I went even though I did not want to go. I love the U.S.A. and did not want any one coming back here and having a war on my land. I found out that you have cared for me and all the Vietnam Vets. You have been a true friend ever since I have known you. You have given me a new life, but this pain will never go away. I served with pride and understanding as I only knew in my own way. I'm not really good at writing letters like this. I have never been asked to write anything like this. But for you I will try. I want to tell you that you will always have a very warm spot in my heart, and when I die it will go with me where ever the lord wants me to go. And if he was to make me an angel I would ask him if I could stay close to you and keep you out of harms way. I have a hard time saying all the things I would like to say to you. But don't have all night. So may God Bless you and keep you safe, and hope some day to meet you either here or up there. Good Night my "SPECIAL FRIEND".  Love you always.
