You protected us. Now I am in the Young Marines. We also honor veterans that served. You were my uncle. God will you on what you did to our country. Just so we could have freedom. You earned it for us. You help me when I need help. I make a wish when it is your birthday. You were the best uncle I ever had.

I have spent years trying to find him after he PCSed and now I know why I could never find him. He will always be my friend and I wish I got to meet his family. If any family member see's this, please contact me at srise21@yahoo.com. I have photos I want to give to his family and I want to say hello to my lost friend.

For some reason, us Asians, never really spoke to each other on post, but acknowledge we were the few who served to never disgrace our face and heritage and respected one another. RIP SSG Du Hai Tran.

You stood tall as an outstanding NCO, a great friend, and a carring and loving father.. You made me into a stronger soldier and tought me as an NCO to lead from the front with an open mind for understanding, a strong will to train to the highest of standers that we called our own, and hope and pride in myself and my soldiers to lead through even the darkest of nights. Until that day brother, 1 Team! 1 Fight! 1 Charlie! Wed, 11 May 2011 10:32:38 -0700
