Honor your hero with thoughts, memories, images and stories.
Bob Schell was engaged to my sister at the time of his death. I was only 13 when he left for Vietnam but I well remember the day we found out he had died. My older brother had been a good friend of his and his death was a reason he enlisted in the Army and became a Green Beret. Almost nobody remembers Bob now, a sad commentary on our times. He left no offspring and he was an only son. War is a terrible way to end a family name but Bob died doing what he believed needed to be done. We should all be so lucky as to go out with the same sense of purpose!
