Comments:One of my few vivid memories is that of picking up Sherin from our flight line his first day with us. He asked me, "so how safe is it"? I replied, "not bad, not bad at all"...a month later, he was gone. Strange how some things stay with you...that piece of conversation took place 34 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. May you rest in peace my Canadian brother!

Comments:A few years ago I had the opportunity to visit the Vietman wall. First I searched the book for anyone with the last name Sherin and I came across John C. Sherin. I went to the wall and made a pencil copy of his name. Somehow I felt he was "kin". May he continue to rest in peace.

Comments:I am John C. Sherin III, son of John C. Sherin III. I was four months old when my father was KIA in Vietnam. Though my parents were both Candian, I was born in Ft. Rucker, Alabama, thus becoming a first generation American.

For reasons unknown to me, around the age of five, contact was lost with my fathers family in Canada. I have few photos of my father. One of the few items I have is his American and Canadian Flag burial shroud.

I would love to hear from anyone who knew my father and would enjoy any photos or "stories".

Be safe,
John
