DUTY HONOR COUNTRY
I imagine my friend PFC Robert Bernard Mann sitting on his grandfather's lap as he whisper, Duty, Honor, Country. The codes of Duty, Honor, Country on which General Douglas MacArthur's farewell speech deliver to the Corps of Cadets at West Point. A sense of obligation that has been passed down for over two hundred years for the American soldier. The moral compass was a moral for many American's as the flag draped coffins arrive from Vietnam. A different character of Americans who had other priorities and fled to Canada to avoid: DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY. Today these American's who ridicule the Vietnam War are now voting to send other American son's to War. PFC Robert Bernard Mann from Salem, New Hampshire did not have to go to Vietnam, but he did. He did not have to volunteer to be a Crew Chief, but he did. He is a heroic American who went far beyond the average American. As the son of the state of New Hampshire and someone who I call my brother, forge by DUTY, HONOR,COUNTRY. On Wall Panel 9, Line 17 the National Archives did not record his Soldier's Medal and his Air Medal this injustice should be corrected. Alfredo Avelar 3745 Damien Av.
