Elain Lange asked me to post this:

On this day 38 years ago my friend and neighbor from Denver, CO, Billie Joe Ontis and the crew of Gator 297 died in the Republic of Vietnam in service to their country.
They are patriots of the highest order and now rest in the peace and glory they earned.
This nation is eternally grateful and will forever be in their debt.

Elaine Lange, Reno, NV.
