Operation SWIFT

Gone, but always remembered

Hello Frank! You were one of my guys. I was medivaced on September 4th, 1967 during Operation Swift. You and Bill Paul tended to my wounds. I'll always recall when Bill accidentally stabbed me in the back, in the wound itself, while trying to cut through my shirt. He was nervous but you both laughed. I just found you on the wall and was deeply moved by your passing. I know your in attendance by Our Lord. See you soon old friend.~ Don Goulet, Fire Team Leader
