This one is a "before your time" for many members here, but for us old ones....it was a watershed moment in history and in the Vietnam war in particular.

Wee Drop posted this today to her Facebook page:

This morning my darling husband Robert died peacefully, myself and his close family were with him and surrounded him with love♥️
I am utterly devastated, he was and will be the love of my life, and I miss him so much.
He fought Cancer with great courage from the date of his diagnosis in late May right up until this morning. I am so proud of Robert, he is at peace now resting safely in Gods arms✝️
I am heartbroken, shocked and beyond exhausted, so can I please ask any potential visitors to contact me first before arriving.
Thank you❤️�🩹
