Has anybody seen or know the whereabouts of J D Peek? I last saw him in San Diego in 1966. He was in A-1/7 in 1965 in Chu Lai.

This was sent by Jerry Grantland.
I now know why men who have been to war yearn to reunite. Not to tell stories or look at old pictures. Not to laugh or weep. Comrades gather because they long to be with the men who once acted at their best; men who suffered and sacrificed, who were stripped of their humanity. I did not pick these men. They were delivered by fate and the military. But I know them in a way I know no other men. I have never given anyone such trust. They were willing to guard something more precious than my life. They would have carried my reputation, the memory of me. As long as I have memory, I will think of them all, every day. I am sure that when I leave this world, my last thought will be of my family and my comrades…such good men.
The words -- profound. The author -- unknown.

Subject: Fwd: Band of Brothers...
Brotherhood:
Brother, life is too short to wake up with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don't, just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands, those of you who served in Vietnam know this. If it changes your life, let it. Take a few minutes to think before you act when you're mad.Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy, He just promised it would be worth it.Today is Band of Brothers' Day; send this to all your brothers, fathers,sons and fellow veterans you know. Happy Brothers' Day!I LOVE YA BROTHER!!!To the cool men [and women] in uniform that have touched my life. Here's to you!! I was never a hero, but I am thankful I served among them. A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you. Send to all your Band of Brothers, because the fake ones won't.
Just finished a really great book about Charlie 3/7 during 1970 in Nam. It is historical account by a Marine grunt that was there. I thought you might pass the word if anyone is interested. The author is Frederick Fenwick, he's got a facebook page about the book. I highly recommend it.
