Lawrence D. Pool
Class of 1959
My sister, Delpha, and I were on the California Central Valley Honor Flight #17 on 1 - 4 October 2018. Our youngest brother’s name “Larry G. Pool” is on the Vietnam Memorial Wall. After almost 50 years, we finally had an opportunity to touch, photograph and made a rubbing of his name.
My one year tour in Vietnam ended in September 1968; Larry’s started in January 1969 and he was killed in July 1969. While he was on R&R in Hawaii, he sent to our mother a large box of flowers (baby orchards, anthuriums and various greenery); each had a vial of water on the stem. Those flowers arrived home the afternoon of his funeral.
Channel 47 aired a two minute story on the event.
I have told that flower story several hundred times over these many years. The video captures only the second time that my voice cracked like that ... it was somewhat embarrassing.
