Operation HOUSTON II

 

Vietnam War Hero

Rich Seng, who was killed on May 8, 1968, was from my hometown of Allentown, PA. A mutual friend had gotten us in contact with one another, and we were exchanging letters at the time of his death. I was devastated when I saw his photo and obituary in the newspaper. I just returned a few days ago from Allentown where I had the chance to put flowers on the grave of this brave young man whose sacrifice I will never forget. It was a very emotional experience for me. If anyone knew Rich personally, I would love to hear about my hero. God bless all of you who have served to preserve the freedom of our wonderful country -- you are all heroes in my book!! ~Wendy J. Fendt
