If this is who I thing it is, we were on the same ACAV that day. Joe was our
driver. We were ambushed. Joe was hit and killed which left us with not driver
so we were stuck. The rest of our platoon took off not realizing we had no driver.
We continued to take fire and our sergeant was hit as was myself. After 10
minutes or so, the platoon realized what had happened and came back for us.

"I Never Knew Him Personally"

Relationship: A distant relative through Joseph's cousin, Deborah Rager Lewis.
I never knew Joseph, but my mother has talked about him many times as she is a cousin to
Joseph. She remembers him and his death very well. My mothers name is Deborah and her
maiden name was Rager and was related to the Ragers and Bucklews of Fairmont, WV. She is
Debbie Lewis from Finleyville, PA. When I was younger we made the trip to Washington DC
and visited the Vietnam Memorial and found Joseph's name. When my mother saw it, it took
her breath away. She cried in sorrow, but then smiled with pride as she thought of his
honorable service to his country.

I have pictures that light up with Joe's smile. I have memories of Joe's kind heart
and big smile, really nice guy. I served with Joe and remember the day he died.
I won't ever forget him or that day.

Remembrance:
We served together
in the same track. Thanks for your help and guidance when I was brand new in country. I
think of you often after all these years. Sometimes I wish I had taken that bullet instead
of you. May God be taking care of you and may you be with your loved ones as time marches
on. It was an honor serving with you. Today is the 32nd anniversary of your death but
you're not forgotten.
