James Michael Aston (Mike) was a U.S. Marine killed in Vietnam on March 19, 1969, at 18 years old.  He was 50 feet away from me when it happened.  About 32 years later, I became his brother-in-law by marrying his sister, and have taken his short-lived life by proxy on this channel.  “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28) Thanks for stopping by.
