POSTED ON 10.22.2015, POSTED BY: MICHAEL KNAPP, LEROY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. In the summer of 1974 when I was 16 yrs old, I was hired to do landscaping and other maintenance work at the Harrison cemetery in Harrison, Idaho. While working there, I came across the grave and marker of Leroy E. Damiano, Jr. who had been killed in Vietnam on 12 February 1968 during the TET offensive. I have never forgotten his sacrifice, and recently went back and paid my respects. I believe his mom, Marjorie, was a cook at the high school I attended (Kootenai) from 1970 until I graduated in 1976. She is buried next to her son now.

POSTED ON 6.22.2015, LEROY EDWARD DAMIANO. LeRoy Edward Damiano is my brother. He is missed by his family every day. I am so happy that when I visit the Viet Nam Memorial Wall I will be able to see his picture. I am so grateful to my husband, Chief Michael E Walsh and our Son-in-Law, Evan Parker, for submitting LeRoy's Picture.

POSTED BY: CURT CARTER. REMEMBERING AN AMERICAN HERO. Dear Sir, As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned. May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you. With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir. Curt Carter, May 19, 2012.
