[Vision2020] Idaho's Part-Time Patriots

[J Ford]

I lost friends over there...friends we never found.  One was a dentist who 
was in the wrong place at the wrong time.  He disappeared; his brother, a 
construction worker and also in the Eng. Division, went back to look for 
him...now HE's missing.  This was in 1968.  Their youngest brother died of 
Liver Cancer in 1973 at the ripe old age of 17, without the love of his 
older brothers helping to sustain him in his last years of life.    Their 
family, friends and clients all miss them and would like to know if they 
died and if so where are they.  We all wear bracelets to remember both of 
them.  None of us considers this "wasted time".   What's wasted is the time 
some people spend on being ignorant and heartless.
