Memories from youth locked away
Are taken out and remembered
Bonds of beginning friendship are recalled
Events and deeds are the substance
By which one is remembered
God knows we shared a laugh or two
You were many things to many people
Sometimes with too much passion
But almost always with a flair
I remember you as the medic with the biggest heart.
We shared a moment in time
Battalion Aid station, the road trip to Dong Tam
That changed us both forever.
Hopefully we are better men
I know you influenced my life
I am so thankful that you were my friend
One of the heroes in my heart
I would have written this sooner
But still after all these years
I have discovered nothing rhythms
With Harold Peterson.

Sometimes it takes decades to take memories out of storage, dust them off, and write about them. I hope that he reads this. It's a nice tribute. Peace to you.
