There were forty-three men from Gloucester County, NJ, who died in service to our country during the Vietnam War. This book offers a look at their lives through their own words in the letters they sent home, through the eyes and hearts of those who mattered most to them, and through the memories of the men who served with them in Vietnam. The perspectives may vary, but the voices are clear, the passions are strong, and the pride is endless. Each of the forty-three continues to make a difference in the lives he touched and to the people he loved. They were indeed ours and this is how we remember them.
