Rob George McSorley

I had the privilege of visiting your grave yesterday, and I would just like to say that while you are gone you are not forgotten and even though Canada was not officially involved in the Vietnam War we fellow Canadians who served during the Vietnam era will not forget the sacrifices that many Canadians made during the Vietnam War.
