Lance Corporal Guido Farinaro was KIA on 30 July 1968,

then 2nd Lt Pace was his Platoon Leader.

In a recent interview General Pace is quoted as saying that he can still remember the names and see the faces of the Marines whom he served with in Vietnam. "I never want to lose that," he said. "Under the glass on my desk is a picture of Lance Cpl. Guido Farinaro of Bethpage, N.Y., a 19 year-old corporal killed by a sniper. He was the first Marine I lost in combat. I keep his picture as a reminder that he and Lance Cpl. Chubby Hale, and Lance Cpl. Buddy Travers and Cpl. Mike Witt and Staff Sgt. Willie Williams and all the others who died following my orders. I can never repay that."

Pete Pace is one first class General, my thanks to Rocky "Rocketman" Fortner for sending this in.

Hanoi JANE and the Pinko Left are up to their old tricks again.

Most recently Jane Fonda and Cindy Sheehan were to attend a planed protest at the Vietnam Wall in DC.

But they never showed up, thanks to about 35,000 Vietnam Veterans who patrolled the Wall during her scheduled Protest
