For 1LT David R. Blackburn

I just purchased a Memorial Bracelet to honor
1LT DAVID R. BLACKBURN
USA 28 NOV 67 SVN
P-30E / L-82 FL

He was the brother of a friend of mine. I remember clearly the look on her face when she was called out of class that day. It brought the war home to me in a very personal way and was a wake up call for a 12 year old. His death changed me in a profound way and that led me into activism on several political issues and put me on a career path where I was able to change a small corner of the world. God bless him and keep him.
