The telegram the Navy sent on April 13, 1969 told us that my father had been killed while on PCF 51.

On March 16, 2001, while I was surfing the internet, entering my name and family members' names
into a search engine to see if anyone had become famous yet, I made a gut-wrenching discovery.

I found an article entitled, "The Death of PCF 43." It was an account of the last day of my father's life -
with information no one in my family had ever known - written by a man who had been there,
on my father's boat in the Mekong Delta, and who had witnessed him die."
