I found this article about a real HERO Christopher Smith.
I read about Chris in a article in the Kansas City Star magazine written by his childhood friend Paul Wenske.It was a great story of Paul trying to find out how his friend died in Vietnam.Chris had carried a wounded soldier to safety from an APC and went back to save another when he was shot in the back.He was KIA trying to rescue other wounded soldier and was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery.I just felt that I needed to stay something about him some way because of his sacrifice for his country.You are a HERO.You have not been forgotten.
Chris, I visited the memorial in D.C. and traced you name. It is posted on my home office wall and I told of our friendship and your heroism to my Grandchildren. They saluted you.
