A

In April, 1967 my brother, Harvey Cooley, met a soldier, David Lawson during basic training. In their free time, they hung out together. As the weeks went by, they grew very close, almost like brothers. However, after basic training, soldiers moved on to advanced training. They thought they would never see each other again.

One day in September, 1967, these men were both in California waiting for transport to the front. Harvey and David had an unexpected surprise when they ran into each other. They talked very briefly since they had got to report in five minutes. They agreed to meet after they were  discharged (ÍËÎé) from  the  service.  Harvey wrote a brief note which he gave to David showing the date and location they were to meet.

Harvey never made it back home. He died while saving two soldiers during enemy fire. David did not learn of Harvey's death until the mid 1980s. He wrote a letter to Harvey after he returned home and asked if they could postpone their meeting to a later date. His letter was unanswered. David felt then that Harvey must not have made it back. He knew Harvey would surely have answered his letter if he had been able to.

While David was searching the Internet for Information about Harvey, he found a poem dedicated (Ï׸ø) to Harvey by me. He sent me an email and told me about his friendship with Harvey and we swapped phone numbers.

David called me and we talked about his friendship with Harvey. While on the phone with David, I learned about the note Harvey had written for him. David still had the note and sent me a copy of it.

It is amazing, to say the least, that David was able to track me down. Even more amazing is the fact that he still had Harvey's note after all these years. David told me it was a joy to finally hear about Harvey through me after over forty years.
