"Ed, I was pleased to meet you and your family in person last weekend.
Hope you had a safe and uneventful trip back home.
As promised, I am including my somewhat off the cuff tribute to Ed Barry.
Due to my lack of computer skills, I could not copy my tribute directly,
but here it is:['Edward Francis Barry,
In Memory of a good man and a good friend...
Ed Barry was one of my best friends in Vietnam.
The men in the platoon liked and respected him;
Ed was always cheerful and worked
his way through the toughest situations
without losing his cool or sense of humor.
May he rest in peace.']You can see my tribute at, 'http://www.thevirtualwall.org',
under 'Edward Barry from Wantah, New York.'
(Note, the name of his hometown is misspelled,
but go with their version of it
or you will not find him.
Be well, Bob Dyson"

| Doc,
"It's on I-40 S of Knoxville, Tn. The bridge crosses the Tn River and has a
sign which says "In Memory of Mitchell Stout, MOH Recipient". . I was going
to take a pic coming back but the sign was down on the Northbound
side...some construction going on and I guess they removed the sign. It was
still there on the Southbound side though.
"When you go to Benning it's about the same distance going down through Tn/Ga
as NC/SC/Ga. I-81 turns into I-40 just S of Knoxville and then turns into
I-75 which will take you to Atlanta. Or you can go to I-59 and take Rt. 431
over to Columbus.
"Would be nice to have a picture of the sign. After all he was a former
Panther."
Later-
John Ax
