Dee Fought For You

A good friend of mine, whom I served with in the U.S. Army, died on August 16th. William F. “Dee” De Remer was a career military man with three combat tours in Vietnam. He was a person you could always depend on and who would give you his last dime without your ever asking for it. Dee will be missed.

I thought this YouTube video was a fitting tribute to Dee’s life, his service to his country and . . . his service to you.

Dee is survived by his wife Mary, his daughter Kimberly and his grandchildren Billy and Amber Daugherty.

Rest in peace my friend!

Afghanistan, Vietnam 35 Years Later

July 18, 2010

I guess you had to be there to recognize the fact that Afghanistan is a mirror image of Vietnam, it’s just 35 years later in history.

Brothers In Harmony

Awhile back Greg invited me to Philadelphia for the 2010 competition. Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend but the Brothers In Harmony portion of the show was posted on YouTube and today I saw it. I’m [...]

Small Deer Update: “That Feeling!”

April 22, 2010

If you’ve read No Survivors you’re familiar with the Henry Small Deer character. With the exception of the way I described Small Deer’s physical appearance in the book, the character is an almost perfect match for a Medic I served with during my last tour in Vietnam. I managed to reconnect with him — we’ll [...]

Priceless!

April 8, 2010

My friend David LaMorte — a retired “snake eater” himself — sent this image to me. David’s single line comment in his e-mail: “I am awe-struck . . .” As am I! On any given day I’m not sure America deserves heroes like this guy. But, deserving or not, I’m damn glad they’re out there! [...]
