Reading the local paper this evening. Back page has a story with pics of a local hero/ Vietnam vet laid to rest with full military honors.Lady from the paper was at the funeral and said this man was had seen more than what a news paper story a few years ago could write.He could fill a book with what he had seen and had to do in that hell hole. Jungle finally killed him after all these years. He died from brain cancer from agent orange. This world lost one tough bad azz Marine,, Edward F. Baker . My Big Brother. Seper Fi.
 
So sorry for your loss, Al. It's tough to lose a brother.

His service was appreciated by this household.
 
Sorry to hear another nam brother has died from that crap. I also suffer from Agent Orange cancer. It is a slow and painful death. I have one/two years left. That is the best guess anyway.
 
Very sorry for your loss. I know a couple like him here that suffer from the effects of agent orange.
 
AL,

So sorry for the loss of your brother.....he fought for my freedom and for that i am truly grateful. God bless the USA!

Edward F. Baker....Thank you!

Semper Fi!

Sorry to hear about your loss. When one Marine goes down, the rest of us do a little bit, too.

Although I was on active duty in the Corps during 'Nam, the Corps saw fit to occupy me elsewhere. It may sound strange, but I've always felt like I missed out on something I should have been involved in.
 

Sorry for your lost, I lost a younger brother a couple years ago, non military.
Lost a older cousin about 5 years ago, he was a Marine in country in 65-66 also exposed to agent orange, he said the very same words, that after all those years Nam had finally killed him.
 
Sorry for your loss. It is not easy, I lost a brother 8 years ago as a result of VN. We both served 8 years in the US Army from 1961 thru 1968. Swede
 
Sorry for your loss. I too am a Namvet with Agent Orange, seeing another brother pass only confirms my fate.

Hopefully your remaining years will be many and good ones. Cancer treatments have advanced so much over the past.
will pray for you and ask our church to do the same. Good still does miracles. God bless you.
