John Michael West

12 May 2002 "To live in the hearts we leave behind, is never to have died." (Thomas Campbell, circa 1888) I had the good fortune of knowing Johnny Michael West and George W. Long. Both of these two handsome young men were older than I but made an impression on me. Both times I have visited the Traveling Wall, I have sought out their names. They are remembered. A memorial initiated by a friend, Peg Lipscomb rubent@onemain.com

09 Sep 2003 Johnny was my friend. I mourned the loss like all his friends did... He will always be missed, but never forgotten. Bill Cheshire bullrider33ro@yahoo.com

01 Nov 2003 My best buddy in Viet Nam. I will never forget. I will always remember our dreams. From a comrade, Ronald D. Ray 902 Del Paso Blvd #20, Sacramento, CA 95815 ronraysacto@sbcglobal.net

John Michael West is remembered by his fellow soldiers of the 35th Infantry - the Cacti Regiment
