It is to me still baffling about some of the twists in this trajedy.


One is a trajedy within the trajedy...an irony of ironies.


I went to high school with 2 really good guys who were brothers.One a year ahead of me and one a year behind me.Bobby was one brother and he lost his life in Viet Nam...I think in '69.

The other was Bill Zoller and he was one of the 7 guardsman who would stand trial for what happened.

Hard to imagine what their parents went through....and again..2 nicer guys you could not meet.

I meant your story was sad...as in heartbreaking to think about the agony of that family...for what even...

And if you ever go there it is amazing to see how close everyone was to each other.I forgot any measures given,but it is surprising to see how compact this area was.


There is a Pagoda,I think it's called that, at the top of the hill and one of the metal squares still had a claimed bullet hole in it.

I say claimed because the guardsman say they were shot at first and this thing is just down and to the left of where they were.

It's never good enough and it's never enough.



But, thanks anyway, for trying.
