His name stands proudly on the Mike 3/5 Wall of Honor. Semper fi, Brother. We will never forget. Hey "Reb", I went to the wall two years ago and obtained a rubbing of your name. I keep it with my memorabilia from Nam when we served together. I'm sorry I wasn't there that day maybe things would have been different. I will always remember you my friend and will always remember your great smile and southern sense of humor. You helped me get through a lot days in that dump. I know you are now guarding the pearly gates and hope that I can see you again someday. Donny, I know that you are guarding the gates of heaven. I miss you and your smile and humor. You were a good friend. I will see you again in the future. Your friend, Mario L. "Doc" DeLudos, 800 SE Monterey Road, Stuart, FL 34994, Semper Fi, Mike Company, 3rd Battalion 5th Marines. Even now you are not forgotten. I served with you from bootcamp until the day you were taken from us. My memory is of a friend who always looked at the good side of life and was surrounded by his friends at the end. Jerry DeLena, 1319 Windsor Ct, Pottstown, PA 19464, [email protected] Best friend, Semper Fi, I miss you Donny and I wish I could have stayed with you for that last month but they wouldn't let me stay for only a month more. I will be back later but right now I am overwhelmed with the fact that I found you. Thomas Wityak, 261 Bagley Road, Southbury,Ct 06488. I wish I could have gotten to know you. Uncle Donny, even though you are not here in body. You are here in heart and soul. The only pictures that I have seen of you are on the grave stone. I am proud of you and I too joined the United States Marines in 1993. One day I will see you on the greatest battlefield of them all, "Heaven". Remember Dad, Ronnie and Doris still miss you so much. Semper Fi, CPL Tucker, Michael L. USMC 1993-1997, 65 Oak Street, Batavia, NY 14020, [email protected] I was the M-60 gunner for our squad during my last few months in country. When I left, I turned it over to Donnie and wished him luck. He was one of my closest friends. As my plane landed in California, I took a picture of the flaps being lowered. I sent him the picture saying it was the greatest feeling in the world. I wrote I would look him up when he got back. The letter came back undeliverable. I felt something bad had happened. It turns out they moved our company to Firebase Ross, wherever that was. It wasn't a place we were familiar with. He got hit with shrapnel in the head on Oct. 5, 1970, and died in DaNang on Oct. 10th. His twin brother was stationed in DaNang and got to see him in the hospital. After a journey of a thousand miles, I finally tracked down his family. I will be coming to the reunion with his twin brother Ronnie from Stanfield, NC. He is the nicest guy, just like his brother. I miss you Donny, and I wish I could have stayed with you for that last month but they wouldn't let me stay for only a month more. Semper Fi! Thomas Wityak, Mike 3/5. He served with Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division, 3rd MAF. He was awarded The Combat Action Ribbon(CAR), The Bronze Star Medal for Bravery, The Purple Heart Medal for his combat related wounds, the Vietnam Service Medal, The Republic of Vietnam Campaign Service Medal, The National Defense Service Medal.
