Clint was one of our best friends (husband, Jim Thompson, Serfs 65) and I remember attending his funeral........saddest day of my young life......his Sister Marcia and I were good friends as well. Spent alot of great times with both of them. War is cruel..........took many of our young men/classmates way too young. I still remember him, he will always have a special place in my heart. When I went to the Viet Nam Memorial Wall in Sacramento and saw his name there.......it brought it all back..........love you Clint, you made the ultimate sacrifice for my freedoms.........you will never be forgotten

I knew Clint from Hill Jr. High. I always thought he was the James Dean of our class. So sorry to hear he didn't make it back. It's a difficult thing for those of us who did return to live with.
