Hello,
I wrote
previously about 1SG Virgil T. Hammond, SF Ret., being
admitted to the
hospital with pnuemonia. After extensive testing he was
diagnosed with terminal cancer and after two agonizing weeks died
on
Tues 10 Oct at 0330 hrs. It wasn't pretty but
he faced it with a whole
tub full of guts.
Thanks to all of you who called or emailed. Much
appreciated.
I need a
favor. Dad was SF all the way and desired a SF honor guard
if possible. He was a 26 year, 3 Vietnam tour, agent orange
exposed vet
and I would appreciate any help I
could get from you SF'rs in getting a
burial
contingent from Ft Campbell to send him out. The burial's to be
in Brownsville, KY and is 90 miles as the crow flies from
Ft Campbell.
The burial is to be Friday at 1:00
PM CST. Any help in this regard
would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan Hammond, SFC,
USAR
