Memory
by Vincent Guinnane
For friend, Paul Elwood, a MACV Vietnam Veteran, whom I met on an Ireland Tour and became good friends. We had a pint in a pub in every town that we stopped on the tour. MMCM Roger Soule USN, a fellow piper and friend whom died of Asbestosis. MSG Roy Benavidez (MOH) whom I met at a seminar where he was giving a speech and I played my pipes for the introduction and became instant friends. CW4 Tony Graci and CW2 Bret Fratus, fellow Army Watercraft engineers who died too young. Thanks, CW4 Vincent Guinnane (USAR Retired)
