ARTY FIRE ON & PATROL ENGAGEMENT NEAR CON THIEN (HILL 158) 19670907
UTM grid reference is YD106688

Like Leroy, I am a member of the LHS Class of '66. The picture that I have of Leroy is as he was at Luray High School. I can still see his smiling, freckled face with a mop of reddish blonde hair! He always had a big grin on his face and I considered him one of my friends.

It is with honor and glory that I remember Leroy. I am so proud of the ultimate sacrifice that Leroy made for his country. Being the only member of our High School class to have died in Viet Nam, I send my love and support to Leroy's family.

I look forward to memorializing Leroy again in Luray, VA on July 12th, 2003, at the VFW Hall.

God Bless you all and God Bless America,
Carolyn Sours Swiger
