Related: About this forumI hope it's appropriate to use this forum to salute CSM R. A. Dondero on this day
He was too old for me to know well, being around 40-ish, and I was a lowly SP5, but he was usually friendly when I encountered him.  Our circles didn't intersect much, since I reported to a CPT and he reported to a LTG.
My draftee service ended in May '68.  CSM Dondero was blown up by a rocket in Quang Duc about a year-and-a-half later.
RIP.
