Dedication

I remember a cousin and fellow soldier.

Our lives were wasted in a dirty forgotten little war that had no meaning or moral ground to stand on.

We did our duty.

Slumber on Donald.

Some of us will not forget.

Story

In 1983 Donald was on patrol in the operational area. His unit was ambushed and Donald was hit across the body by a burst of RPD machine gun fire.

My heart breaks for those that died and those that lived.

Our youth was wasted.
