A look at the Brown Water Navy

I dedicate this site to my friends
that served with me while riding the river's and
canals in the Delta of South Vietnam.

Especially those friends that returned
in flag draped coffins.


May they rest in peace knowing
they are missed by their shipmates and loved ones.

"THINGS YOU DIDN'T DO"

Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, and you said it would rain, and it did?
I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't.

Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous, and you were?
I thought you'd leave me, but you didn't.

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug?
I thought you'd hit me, but you didn't.

And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you'd drop me, but you didn't.

Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do,
But you put up with me, and you loved me, and you protected me.

There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Viet Nam.
But you didn't.
