Michael Glenn Lipsius

Cynthia, Thanks for starting this Memorial. We quietly remember in our own small ways and each time he will not so quietly stay still! That was a good interview on CNN. Love, Jane

Excerpt from last letter received from Michael, written to his father: "I'm with the first Cav here in Nam. You might have heard about us up at Khe Sahn. We're getting ready for A Shaw Valley - the valley of no return - where special forces, 101st airborne, and marine units have disappeared. It's believed to be the last stronghold of the NVA so if our 60 day offensive works the war should be over by the end of the summer."

Hey Michael, Even after all this time, you are still always in my heart and mind. I'll never forget how close we came to finally meeting you, only to have that taken away. You are always in my prayers and I'm looking forward to meeting you on "the other side". Love, your sister Cynthia Lipsius
