Army of the United States
I would like to thank you for your service in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Your dedication is immensely important to the people of the United States. The fact that you gave your life in order for us to have a better life means a lot to me and the people that knew you. You are from Ohio, where I am also from. You then moved to Portsmouth where most of my family grew up, and have connections to your relatives and friends. The medals you earned represent what a great leader you were. None of us will forget your bravery, dedication, and what you sacrificed during the Vietnam War. May you rest in peace.

I wrote this for an assingment for language arts class. We were supposed to write a thank you letter to a soldier that served in the Vietnam War. To make it more personal, we were to ask family members if they knew anyone who served. I then asked you guys and you found information about Major Roger Allan Quinn. My whole grade wrote a letter, and when we visited the Vietnam War memorial, we placed the letters under the panel in which our solider was listed.
Thank you for all the information!

LEST WE FORGET
http://www.3-5cav-blackknights.org/casualties.htm
On this date, 38 years ago, Maj. Roger Allan Quinn died serving his country in Vietnam. Roger was a member of HHT Troop, 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry. The 3/5 Cav were known as the Black Knights. They were an armored cavalry unit, meaning they fought primarily from tanks and armored fighting vehicles. They are a proud unit with a proud history. RogerÆs tour of duty was about 9 months. Details of the 3/5 CavÆs movements and operations in Vietnam during RogerÆs tour of duty can be found in 2 books: 1) ôIf You AinÆt Cavàö by Dr. Lee March 2) ôRinged in Steelö by Michael Mahler, Executive Officer with the 3/5 Cav. For more info about the 3/5 Cav go to www.3-5cav-blackknights.org. My cousin, too, was a member of the 3/5 Cav. He was KIA New YearÆs Eve, December 31, 1967, about 3 months before Roger. He had only been in country 20 days. This info is provided FYI, for those who didn't know û LEST WE FORGET. It is also provided to keep RogerÆs memory alive for those who didn't know him LEST WE FORGET. Roger knew war, now may he know peace eternally. I am sincerely, forever grateful for his service.

Rest easy, sleep well my brothers. Know the line has held, your job is done. Rest easy, sleep well. Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held. Peace, peace, and farewell.
