My name is Emmett Queen, a retired Sgt. USMC and a former Vietnam M-60 gunner from B-1-3 in 1965-66. I understand that most of the platforms I am a part of do not permit GoFundMe pages, but I am reaching out just in case there is an exception. If not, would it be possible for you to kindly share this message with your members through messenger?

On March 28th, I received the heartbreaking news of my eldest son's passing. He was truly the greatest blessing in my life until that moment. He was born on February 23rd, 1968, and lived in Sioux City, Iowa with his family and mother. Despite my efforts to find closure and cope with this loss, each passing day seems to bring more emotional anguish. I strongly believe that I am in need of grief counseling. Every waking moment is consumed by pure sorrow and pain.

Through my GoFundMe campaign, we have received $1600.00, which allowed me to make a payment towards my son's funeral expenses. However, we still require $6000.00 to cover the remaining costs. Any contribution, regardless of the amount, would be greatly appreciated.
