Thanks for the article. My Spanish is not good, but the message is quite clear.

As I had mentioned in my original post Steve was one of those quiet heros in Vietnam. (25th Infantry Division LOH Pilot) I really didnt know him well, but We went through Armor Officers School at Ft Knox, Ky. He had just returned from Vietnam and was headed to Verona Italy.. Just another guy you meet in the military and continue on with your own life and career. Just something about him made everyone who knew him, like him. He had all those things that few talk about, Silver Star, Bronze Star, a string of Air Medals.
I saw him about 10-15 years ago on TV. Guiness book of records as he saved someones butt again while flying a 500D in Venezuela.
Always wanted to say hi one more time, but you know how that goes.
Sometimes the urgency of helping others finally catches up with you. He will be missed by many, but not forgotten.
