Dear Martins buddies,

You must think I'm ignoring all of you, but that definately is not the way it is. I,ve been reading your notes to each other and am learning so much more than I ever knew about what went on in Vietnam and about how
much courage you all had. Marty was so lucky to have such good friends. Losing him from our family is still very sad to me and I cry alot too when I read your messages.

We are so proud of him. That goes for his brothers too, Doug, Steve and Mark. Mark especially knew what kind of men had the toughness to handle the military life. He is one terrific son!

God Bless all of you. I would love to meet any of you who might be in Maine sometime. I have extra room most of the time.

Thank you all for caring.

Love, Martins Mom
