My name is Rose Peterson, my husbands name is Myron Peterson aka "Pete" he served with Co B 1/5 Mech, 1st Platoon 1st squad based in He was wounded on May 16, 1968 and shipped home. My husband thought a lot of Colombo Phil DelTerzo this fellow soldier left a lasting impression on my husband he had a lot of love and respect for him so much so that he named our first son after him, his name is Colombo Del Peterson. A lot of time has passed and much healing has taken place. We would like to know more about Colombo DelTerzo and contact his family to let them know what an impression he made on a fellow soldier. We also want to let our son know more of his namesake. If you have any information as to where we might contact some of the family we would appreciate it very much and of course with their permission. Also my husband says there was a Randy that was also wounded on May 16, 1968 could that be you? I found your email addy on the Virtual Wall website Thanks,
