Default A friend has passed

Dan Fisher aka by the callsign ?Retired Army? passed away on 12 /31/05

I got to know RA from the Vietnam Vets Message Board back in 2001 when I started to post there. He was one of the first to welcome me to the board. He will be missed by all who have had the privilege to call him Top.

He has been battling cancer for some time now and he had been back in the hospital last week, but I guess he knew that he was going to die, and he wanted to do so at home.

This is a link to a web site that he started some years ago while looking to find men he had served with in one of the many units he belonged to during his Army career.

SHARP HAND SALUTE for Dan Fisher and with his death ?? the world has become a lesser place
