Absolutely!!! Totally agree. Even though I never meet him I felt connected because of my father recently passing from Vietnam and agent orange. I pm'd David several times and we talked about it. He was a great guy and is truly missed.
As many of you know...we recently lost a good C.C member, David Smith aka Blackhawk19 from Alabama. We lost David to cancer more than likely caused by exposure to agent orange serving in Vietnam. David was a very active member here on c.c posting his fishing reports and pictures as well as answering questions and helping others. David also welcomed thousands of new members to C.C on the Newbie Forum. David was a "Proud Member of the Southeast Asian War Games Team" (which was in his crappie.com signature) where he served in Vietnam as a chopper pilot.
I suggested to Slab that I felt like we should posthumously award David with a C.C JMMA Award of Honor for his service to not only his Country but his exceptional contribution on C.C as well. I brought this up to the super mods that serve on the C.C Admin committee and they all agreed. So after we get award trophy made up it will be sent to Davids wife and family. I think it would comfort them to know that David was well liked and respected by many and that he will not be forgotten.
I'm sorry that I never got to meet him and shake his hand. I went to the Alabama C.C crappie camp hoping he might be there and I could meet him but he could not attend that one.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.
