Ronald Francis Sadler is honored on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Panel 46E Line 012.
“The first person I met when I moved to Tonawanda, one of the last I spoke with before returning to Vietnam. Close friends
in youth, drifted apart with age, but never far from mind. Loyal to all, he gave his life helping a buddy.”
“No greater love hath a man, than he lays down his life for his friends.”
David R. Battaglia
