So sad that we have loss another great man, VET and Life Supporter so early in life. I didn’t get to meet MSGT GIESE. I was coming into NHA TRANG AB Life Support section, as he was leaving. We missed each other by a few days. I heard great things about him from others that new him in Life Support at NHA TRANG. God bless him and his family.
I met Edgar about a month before I left Nha Trang. He was very soft spoken and willing to lend a hand whenever needed. One of the few men who would listen and sympathetic to your problems.
