This Vietnam War Veteran was recently blessed to have the opportunity to personally thank my Alma Mater Rancho Alamitos High School (RAHS) students (VAQUEROS) on behalf of all our Alumni. This as an invited Guest Speaker at their Annual RAHS Student Awards Ceremony in June.

Thanking present day student VAQUEROS (Mascots-Spanish Ranch Cowboys of early California) for their lovingly hosting a warm on campus RAHS 50th Anniversary Day in May for all us Rancho Alumni of the last 50 years. Right where we all grew up next door to a now 53 year old Magic Kingdom DISNEYLAND.

Hey, this is pretty fun, huh..?

Ronnie, Some of us who never took part in combat have nothing but love and gratitude toward those who served in Vietnam (and shame at the politicians that stabbed them in the back), and those who serve now in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And no, I for one will NOT forget, barring infirmity.

It has been bookmarked since I got my first email from the director. I think everybody on certain blogsites got that.

“Much has happened between the fall of Saigon in 1975, after America had ..BEEN PARALYZED.. with deomonstrations opposing the war, and 2008,which comes after the Sept. 11 attacks and a war on terrorism many see as vital to the nation’s survival” =
