I knew Darrell fairly well, and I want to say he was a hero before he ever joined the service, i knew his family also,his older Sister went to RHS, any way he lived where the Catholic church is now in a big 2 story house that was also the home of children that his parents took care of, and one day the house caught on fire, and Darrell was there and grabbed at least one of the little kids and jumped out of the second story and saved him self and at least one of the little kids, and broke his leg, so Darrell was a hero long before he ever joined the service to be killed in Vietnam, so thank him for giving his life for saving at least one of the children in the childrens home and giving his life for all of us that we may live our lives to the fullest, Amen RIP Darrell we Love You and what you sacrificed,.If I remember right 8 kids died in that fire?
